Zero to OpenFaas in 60 months
summary
Project grows from scratch into a production serverless platform with a CLI that scaffolds handlers, builds container images, pushes them to a registry and deploys to Kubernetes; it adds secrets, autoscaling with Prometheus metrics, a UI and a function store and uses gnats for messaging. Adoption hits 28k GitHub stars and 330+ contributors, it runs lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi, powers dozens of companies, wins awards, and the team pivots to a focused open-core model after dropping swarm and heavy cloud components.
