Reactors SDK

Nearly any language can be used to build functions for TACC’s Abaco serverless computing platform. This is the documentation for a specific, opinionated approach that embeds a client-side Python2.7/3.6 support library called Reactors in the container that hosts an Abaco function.

Reactors extends the Abaco Actors concept with:

• YAML-based configuration mechanism with environment overrides
• Support for first-class mocking and local-side testing
• Semantic aliases for Actors and other TACC.cloud API assets
• Helper methods for working with integrations like Slack and IFTTT
• Introspection of the actor’s platform-level attributes
• Advanced logging with support for redacting sensitive text
• Optimized TACC.cloud API operations
