Apache OpenWhisk, an open-source distributed Serverless platform, executes functions (fx), in response to events at all scales. OpenWhisk handles the infrastructure, servers, and scaling via Docker containers. This allows you to focus on creating amazing and efficient apps. OpenWhisk supports a programming model that allows developers to write functional logic (called actions), in any supported programming languages. These actions can be dynamically scheduled and run in response (via Triggers), from external sources (Feeds), or from HTTP requests. The project also includes a REST API-based Command Line Interface, (CLI), and other tools to support packaging, catalog service, and many popular container deployment options. Apache OpenWhisk uses containers to build its components. This makes it easy to support many deployment options locally and within Cloud infrastructures. Many of the most popular Container frameworks are available.
