Serverless cloud platform for event-driven functions.

OpenWhisk runs functions in response to events and exposes APIs for composing them into serverless workflows. Rules and triggers connect incoming events to actions. Developers can run a standalone stack with Docker-based function execution or deploy it on Kubernetes. A browser playground supports creating and running functions, alongside a command-line interface for managing the platform.
