Allow global functions

[rootedsoftware]

Global functions which can be called across all projects.

I'm thinking of this a lot like you might think of AWS lambda.

One use case might be a Stripe micro-service style payments function.

I like this idea

I implemented a photo upload and pre-processing function this week. It is a component in a complex multi page form that needs to re-size, crop and save the image before returning a URL.

The implementation used node/express/AWS s3 and was deployed via Zeit

It would be nice if this kind of functionality could be handled by Graphcool functions. But seems at the moment the limitation is functions can only be hooked into an interaction with the graphql backend. Instead it would be great if the function could be invoked via an endpoint like a function deployed to AWS lambda.

Do you see a difference to #354? Otherwise this can be closed as a duplicate.
