I / Function

Platform for deploying serverless functions.

OpenFaaS runs event-driven functions and microservices on Kubernetes. Developers package code or existing binaries as container images, define deployments in YAML and use a command-line tool to build and deploy them. HTTP endpoints and asynchronous processing let applications invoke functions directly or handle work in the background.
