FaaS and Furious - 0 to Serverless in 60 Seconds, Anywhere
summary
OpenFaaS is a container-based functions framework that can deploy in 60 seconds to Kubernetes or Docker and gives each function an HTTP API, Prometheus metrics and a route. It can package any binary for Linux or Windows and uses a watchdog shim so legacy C++ or Python code runs unchanged. Live demos show a TensorFlow inception image, an 8-second colorize bot run asynchronously, and Prometheus-driven scaling to multiple replicas (demo reached five). Community stats: ~65 contributors, ~1,400 commits and >8k GitHub stars, plus an InfoWorld award.
