+# Sample Function: Go "Hello World"
+
+## Introduction
+
+This repository contains a sample "Hello World" function written in Go. You can deploy it on DigitalOcean's App Platform as a Serverless Function component.
+
+**Note: This feature is currently in a [limited beta release](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/platform/product-lifecycle/#beta). Following these steps may result in charges for the use of DigitalOcean services.**
+
+### Requirements
+
+* You need a DigitalOcean account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up at [https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new).
+* You need to have access to the beta release of App Platform Serverless Functions. You can sign up for notifications about beta and early access releases [using this form](https://www.digitalocean.com/nimbella).
+
+## Deploying the Function
+
+During the beta, documentation for Serverless Functions will be available to beta participants only in the [Serverless Functions Closed Beta Google Doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qhxnl4ndb0Jh2WkNnNLa2lAUo6u7EAfLyBlUsaPZA0Y). Please refer to this document for instructions on how to deploy Serverless Functions in App Platform.
+
+## Using the Function
+
+Accessing the function with the `?name=` query parameter will greet the specified name. For example, `?name=Alice` will return  `Hello Alice`. Using no query parameters will return `Hello stranger`.
+
+### Learn More
