OpenFaaS - Serverless on your terms

In plain words

OpenFaaS is a serverless computing framework that lets developers build and deploy functions without managing server infrastructure. Launched in 2017, it runs on Kubernetes and Docker, giving users control over where their code executes—whether on personal servers, cloud providers, or hybrid setups. Designed for developers and DevOps teams, OpenFaaS enables rapid function deployment with automatic scaling and straightforward APIs for creating microservices and automation workflows.

  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.
