Python with Apache OpenWhisk

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Demonstrates using Apache OpenWhisk as an open-source serverless platform (an alternative to AWS Lambda/Azure Functions), showing local installation, using the wsk CLI, creating actions and packages, and wiring triggers to action sequences to respond to events. Includes concrete examples: a hello-world, a picture-upload pipeline that calls image analytics and writes to a JSON database, and live activations with logs (including a morning demo that initially produced ~600 errors but then recovered, proving invocation and logging).
