Introducing Spring Cloud Function

Spring Cloud Function is a new project with the following high-level goals:

• Promote the implementation of business logic via functions.
• Decouple the development lifecycle of business logic from any specific runtime target so that the same code can run as a web endpoint, a stream processor, or a task.
• Support a uniform programming model across serverless providers, as well as the ability to run standalone (locally or in a PaaS).
• Enable Spring Boot features (auto-configuration, dependency injection, metrics) on serverless providers.
