Support reactor-style, async callback mechanism #60

Closed ewindisch closed 8 years ago

ewindisch commented 8 years ago

Javascript developers have come to expect a reactor-style, async callback mechanism. Many libraries in javascript demand this and it's difficult to use such libraries in iopipe currently.

By requiring all functions accept a context variable ala AWS Lambda and the Google Cloud Functons, we can support these libraries and maintain compatibility with such cloud services.
