How LivePerson is Tailoring its Conversational Platform Using OpenFaaS
summary
LivePerson embeds OpenFaaS on Kubernetes to let customers push custom chatbot functions — deployable from a developer center with templates, auth, CI and live debugging — and wires those functions into an event‑based interface with messenger connectors so chat events trigger commerce or email workflows. The platform enforces secure multi‑tenant access and secret isolation, relies on OpenFaaS autoscaling out of the box, and demonstrates a deployed email-sending function plus payload testing to prove the flow works end‑to‑end.
