Epycbyte Functions Quickstart Guide

Overview

Epycbyte Functions provide a powerful way to create and deploy serverless functions. This guide will help you get started with creating, testing, and deploying your first function using Epycbyte.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the latest version of the Epycbyte CLI installed.
- To check: epycbyte --version
- To install/update: pnpm i -g epycbyte@latest or npm install -g epycbyte@latest

Creating Your First Function

Choose a Framework

Use your favorite frontend framework (e.g., Next.js, SvelteKit) or no framework at all.

Create a New Project

If you don't have an existing project:

npx create - next - app@latest --typescript

Select a Runtime

Epycbyte automatically uses Serverless Node.js if not specified.
To specify a runtime, add this to your function file:
```
export const runtime = 'nodejs'; // or 'edge'
```

Implement Your Function

For Next.js: Create /api/hello/route.ts

export function GET(request: Request) {
  return new Response(`Hello from ${process.env.epycbyte_REGION}`);
}

For other frameworks, follow similar steps.

Test Locally

npm run dev

Visit /api/hello to see the response. Note: epycbyte_REGION won't be defined locally.

Deploying Your Function

Push Changes

If already deployed, push changes to your Git repo.
If not deployed, create a new project via Epycbyte CLI or dashboard.

Use Environment Variables

epycbyte env pull

This fetches latest environment variables for your function.
