Without going too deep into Aquamarine and AIR, this script specifies that we call a public peer-to-peer relay \(node\) on the network, ask to run the \(curl\) _request_ function with data parameter _url_ and _service\_id_ parameter, and collect the _result_ **xor** the _error message_ in case of execution failure. We also promise to pass the _service\_id_ and _url_ parameters to the scripts. The "magic" happens by handing the script to the `fldist` CLI tool, which then sends the script for execution to the specified p2p network and locally shadows the execution. Please note that Instead of developing full-fledged frontend applications, we use the `fldist` CLI tool. However, a [JS SDK](https://github.com/fluencelabs/fluence-js) is available to accelerate the development of more complex frontend applications.

With essentially a two line script and a couple of parameters we executed a search request as a service on a peer-to-peer network. Even this small example should impress the ease afforded by Aquamarine to compose applications from portable, reusable and distributed services not only taken serverless to the next level by greatly reducing devops requirements but also empowering developers with a composition and coordination medium second to none.

In the next section, we build an Ethereum block getter application by coordinating multiple services into an application.
