Description

Apache OpenWhisk is a distributed, open-source Serverless platform designed to execute functions (fx) in response to various events, scaling seamlessly according to demand. By utilizing Docker containers, OpenWhisk takes care of the underlying infrastructure and server management, allowing developers to concentrate on creating innovative and efficient applications. The platform features a programming model where developers can implement functional logic (termed Actions) in any of the supported programming languages, which can be scheduled dynamically and executed in reaction to relevant events triggered by external sources (Feeds) or through HTTP requests. Additionally, OpenWhisk comes with a REST API-based Command Line Interface (CLI) and various tools to facilitate service packaging, cataloging, and deployment options for popular container frameworks. As a result of its container-based architecture, Apache OpenWhisk is compatible with numerous deployment strategies, whether locally or in cloud environments, giving developers the flexibility they need. The versatility of OpenWhisk also enables it to integrate with a wide range of services, enhancing its utility in modern application development.

Description

OpenFaaS® simplifies the deployment of serverless functions and existing applications onto Kubernetes, allowing users to utilize Docker to prevent vendor lock-in. This platform is versatile, enabling operation on any public or private cloud while supporting the development of microservices and functions in a variety of programming languages, including legacy code and binaries. It offers automatic scaling in response to demand or can scale down to zero when not in use. Users have the flexibility to work on their laptops, utilize on-premises hardware, or set up a cloud cluster. With Kubernetes handling the complexities, you can create a scalable and fault-tolerant, event-driven serverless architecture for your software projects. OpenFaaS allows you to start experimenting within just 60 seconds and to write and deploy your initial Python function in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Following that, the OpenFaaS workshop provides a comprehensive series of self-paced labs that equip you with essential skills and knowledge about functions and their applications. Additionally, the platform fosters an ecosystem that encourages sharing, reusing, and collaborating on functions, while also minimizing boilerplate code through a template store that simplifies coding. This collaborative environment not only enhances productivity but also enriches the overall development experience.
