OpenFaaS
Serverless Functions Made Simple with Kubernetes.

OpenFaaS is an open-source serverless functions platform that runs on Kubernetes, allowing developers to deploy functions written in any language using portable OCI images. It supports on-premises and cloud deployments, with event-driven triggers from sources like Kafka, AWS SQS, and GCP Pub/Sub. A commercial Pro tier adds autoscaling, SSO/RBAC, monitoring dashboards, and direct engineering support.
Users write functions in any supported language, package them as OCI images using faas-cli templates, and deploy them to any Kubernetes cluster where OpenFaaS handles scaling, routing, and event integration.
