In modern software development, writing the code is often just the beginning. The journey from your local machine to a production environment is paved with CI/CD pipelines, configuration files, environment variables, and manual deployment steps. This operational overhead, while necessary for reliability, can slow down development velocity and distract your team from its primary goal: shipping valuable features.
But what if your deployment process was as simple as your version control? What if git push was all you needed to securely build, version, and deploy your business logic as a production-ready service?
With Functions.do, this isn't a hypothetical—it's a core feature. Our platform transforms your Git repository into a powerful, automated deployment engine, allowing you to embrace a true "Business-as-Code" methodology. Let's explore how connecting your Git repository can eliminate DevOps complexity and supercharge your workflow.
Traditionally, deploying a serverless function involves a multi-step process that often looks like this:
While these steps can be automated, the setup itself is complex and lives outside your core application logic. It's brittle, requires specialized knowledge, and creates a cognitive divide between writing code and running it.
Functions.do adopts a GitOps philosophy: your Git repository is the single source of truth for your application's state. By connecting your repository (from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.), you authorize Functions.do to act as your integrated CI/CD partner.
Every git push to your designated branch (e.g., main) automatically triggers a seamless, secure deployment workflow.
The process is designed for maximum simplicity and power, letting you focus entirely on your code.
Getting started is as simple as authorizing Functions.do to access your chosen Git repository through a secure OAuth connection. No complex webhooks or manual pipeline configuration needed. Just a few clicks, and your code is linked to our agentic workflow platform.
Write your business logic as a standard function. By leveraging TypeScript interfaces, you tap into Functions.do's core strength: typesafety. Our platform uses these types to automatically validate inputs and guarantee output structures, preventing runtime errors before they happen.
Here’s the simple, powerful code you’d commit to your repository:
import { Function } from 'functions.do';
// Define the typesafe input for your function
interface Lead {
companySize: number;
industry: string;
hasBudget: boolean;
}
// Define the expected output structure
interface LeadScore {
score: number;
reason: string;
}
// Create a function agent linked to its identifier
const scoreLead = Function<Lead, LeadScore>('score-lead-v1', async (input) => {
let score = 50;
let reason = 'Baseline score.';
if (input.companySize > 100) {
score += 25;
reason += ' Large company size.';
}
if (input.industry === 'SaaS' && input.hasBudget) {
score += 25;
reason += ' Ideal industry with budget.';
}
return { score, reason };
});
This code is clean, readable, and self-contained. The business logic is clear, and the types ensure data integrity.
Once your code is ready, simply commit and push it to your connected branch:
git add .
git commit -m "feat: Enhance lead scoring logic"
git push origin main
That’s it. You’re done.
Functions.do instantly detects the push and orchestrates the entire deployment pipeline on your behalf:
Integrating your deployment process with Git isn't just a convenience; it's a fundamental shift that delivers powerful advantages.
By eliminating manual steps and CI/CD configuration, your team can deploy changes and new features in minutes, not hours. The feedback loop between idea, code, and production becomes incredibly short.
Automation is the enemy of human error. Since every deployment follows the exact same tested and optimized process, you can trust that what works in one commit will work in the next. The process is repeatable, predictable, and robust.
Every git push creates a versioned, deployable artifact. Need to roll back to a previous state? It's as simple as redeploying a previous commit hash from the Functions.do dashboard or reverting the commit in Git. Your Git history is your deployment history.
When deployments are tied to commits, your entire team has full visibility. Code reviews become deployment reviews. The Git log provides a clear, auditable trail of every change made to your production services.
Your team’s most valuable asset is its ability to translate business requirements into working software. The boilerplate of modern DevOps, while important, shouldn't stand in the way.
Functions.do’s Git integration is more than just an integration; it’s the practical application of our "Business-as-Code" philosophy. Your business logic, defined in your repository, becomes the deployed reality without any middleman.
