Deploy a Function to the Edge
Management of functions at the edge is done via API requests. See “OpenAPI > ECP > Support Services > Functions” for more information.
To deploy a function to the edge, a POST request needs to be made as follows:
POST /support/faas/functions
With a minimum request body:
```
{
“name”: “<edge-function-name-as-built-on-the-cloud>”
}
```
This will deploy the function that was built on the cloud side.
Optionally, environment values can be set and topics for the telemetry triggers (see
section “Invoke a Function > On a Telemetry Trigger”):
```
{
“name”: “<edge-function-name-as-built-on-the-cloud>”,
“env_vars”: {
“var_1”: “value_1”
},
“topics”: [
“things/<thing-uid>/properties”
]
}
```
