About me

My name: Phil Hawksworth
I've used Netlify: lots

My question in a little more detail

There is a lot of buzz around serverless functions, but I'm a but intimidated about getting started. How do I break the seal and start using functions-as-a-service?

I was disappointed to learn that Netlify functions are only supported if you connect a hosted git repository to your Netlify account. If you host your own source control system (self hosted gitlab/github etc...) then you can't use Netlify functions.

Also interested in learning how to run the functions locally for development.
