Conceptual workflow

The Gateway can be accessed through its REST API, via the CLI or through the UI. All services or functions get a default route exposed, but custom domains can also be used for each endpoint.

By changing the URL for a function from to /async-function/NAME an invocation can be run in a queue using NATS Streaming. You can also pass an optional callback URL.
