Add caire image resizer as sample function.

[alexellis]

I think we should add an image resizer into the store.

This one looks to have shot up to popularity with 8k stars: https://github.com/esimov/caire

It does smart things like scale/resize images while retaining the scale for faces, it can even extend the width of images etc.

Not sure of the best user interface, we could use a string like a human-readable sentence - or JSON as the input. JSON is obviously easier. Human-readable string may be: "Resize this URL https:// to 100 pixel width"

It seems interesting, can I take a shot at this?

[alexellis]

Perhaps @esimov could take a look at it? My only concern is whether the resizing would time-out.

[esimov]

I will give it a try once i will came back from vacation. Is there a given timeout set for the returning function?

[alexellis]

Yes we can configure it. Most return in under 10s though. Enjoy your break

[esimov]

@alexellis i would opt for a json as an input source. What do you think?

[alexellis]

I think that might be a good choice. The users would just have to know how to input the data. Maybe we should extend the UI to create samples/examples of inputs?

Hey @alexellis i have integrated Caire as an OpenFaaS function. Here is the PR #41. Please check it and let me know if something is missing or needs to be corrected.

It's definitely not powerful as caire but it is simple and it is written for OpenFaaS => #74
