Stuck deploying my first FaaS in SAP Cloud Platform using the Functions service (beta)

[pieterjanssens]

I followed this tutorial to get started with 'Functions' (SAP's FaaS on SAP Cloud Platform, currently in Beta).

I am stuck in the deploy step and hope to get some help to get me going again.

Bonus question: to install npm packages (from the standard npm registry) they have to be added as dependencies in the package.json and then the project needs to be built to load them or how is this achieved?

My instance is called “faas-test” and that is also the name I put in the mta.yaml (see bottom).

<code>20:32:48 (Executor) Getting service key credentials for the faasinstance service instance.
20:32:49 (Executor) Creating the faasinstance service instance for the functions service.
