Golem

Golem Logo

This repository contains Golem - a set of services enable you to run WebAssembly components in a distributed cloud environment.

See Golem Cloud for more information.

Getting Started

It is possible to start using Golem locally by using our published Docker containers. Please refer to the document link below on how to get golem OSS running using docker. https://learn.golem.cloud/docs/quickstart#setting-up-golem

Once you have Golem running locally, you can use golem-cli to interact with Golem services.

cargo install golem-cli

# component is your compiled code written in Rust, C, etc
# https://learn.golem.cloud/docs/building-templates helps you write some code and create a component - as an example
golem-cli component add <location-to-component-file> 

# Now we need a worker corresponding from component, that can execute one of the functions in component
# If worker doesn't exist, it is created on the fly whey you invoke a function in component
golem-cli worker invoke-and-await  --component-id <component-id> --worker-name my-worker --function golem:it/api/add-item --parameters '[{"product-id" : "foo", "name" : "foo" , "price" : 10, "quantity" : 1}]'

Internally, it is as simple as golem-cli using golem-client sending requests to Golem Services hosted in Docker container. Therefore, you can see what's going on and troubleshoot things by inspecting docker containers.
