Abaco is a web service and distributed system that combines the actor model of concurrent computation, Linux containers into a web services platform that provides functions-as-a-service. In Abaco, actor registered in the system is associated with a Docker image. Actor containers are executed in response to messages posted to their inbox which itself is given by a URI exposed via Abaco. In the process of executing the actor container, state, logs and execution statistics are collected. Many aspects of the system are configurable.
