This is a quick demo of what can be done easily with OpenFaaS and the existing Python module python-pptx.

Sample adapted from: https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart.html

Create a PowerPoint doc with FaaS

This takes a JSON input as defined in "sample.json" with a title, text and image URL then creates a presentation file.

    "text": "OpenFaaS",
    "title": "Serverless on your servers.. yas"
}

Here is a quick way to deploy, if you already have FaaS and the CLI setup:

$ faas-cli -action build -f ./stack.yml 
$ faas-cli -action deploy -f ./stack.yml 
$ curl --data-binary @sample.json http://localhost:8080/function/on-deck > faas.pptx
