Kubernetes as a back-end for OpenFaaS

In plain words

OpenFaaS is a framework for building serverless functions that uses Kubernetes as its underlying infrastructure. It allows developers to deploy and manage functions at scale using container orchestration. The project is designed for teams who want to run serverless workloads on their own Kubernetes clusters rather than relying on cloud provider services. It simplifies function deployment, scaling, and management through automation.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
