OpenFaaS ® - Serverless Functions Made Simple

Build Status go.dev reference License: MIT OpenFaaS Derek App

OpenFaaS Logo

OpenFaaS® makes it easy for developers to deploy event-driven functions and microservices to Kubernetes without repetitive, boiler-plate coding. Package your code or an existing binary in an OCI-compatible image to get a highly scalable endpoint with auto-scaling and metrics.

Highlights

  • Ease of use through UI portal and one-click install
  • Write services and functions in any language with Template Store or a Dockerfile
  • Build and ship your code in an OCI-compatible/Docker image
  • Portable: runs on existing hardware or public/private cloud by leveraging Kubernetes
  • CLI available with YAML format for templating and defining functions
  • Auto-scales as demand increases including to zero

Overview of OpenFaaS (Serverless Functions Made Simple)

Conceptual architecture

Conceptual architecture and stack, more detail available in the docs

Code samples

You can generate new functions using the faas-cli and built-in templates or use any binary for Windows or Linux in a container.

Official templates exist for many popular languages and are easily extensible with Dockerfiles.

  • Node.js (node12) example:

    "use strict"
    
    module.exports = async (event, context) => {
        return context
            .status(200)
            .headers({"Content-Type": "text/html"})
            .succeed(`
            <h1>
                👋 Hello World 🌍
            </h1>`);
    }

    handler.js

  • Python 3 example:

    import requests
    
    def handle(req):
        r =  requests.get(req, timeout = 1)
        return "{} => {:d}".format(req, r.status_code)

    handler.py

  • Golang example (golang-http)

    package function
    
    import (
        "log"
    
        "github.com/openfaas-incubator/go-function-sdk"
    )
    
    func Handle(req handler.Request) (handler.Response, error) {
        var err error
    
        return handler.Response{
            Body: []byte("Try us out today!"),
            Header: map[string][]string{
                "X-Served-By": []string{"openfaas.com"},
            },
        }, err
    }

Get started with OpenFaaS

Official eBook and video workshop

eBook logo

The founder of OpenFaaS wrote Serverless For Everyone Else to help developers understand the use-case for functions through practical hands-on exercises using JavaScript and Node.js. No programming experience is required to try the exercises.

The examples use the faasd project, which is an easy to use and lightweight way to start learning about OpenFaaS and functions.

Community Subscription

OpenFaaS users can subscribe to a weekly Community Newsletter called Insiders Updates, to keep up to date with new features, bug fixes, events, tutorials and security patches. Insiders Updates are written by the project founder and distributed via GitHub Sponsors.

Roadmap

The roadmap for OpenFaaS is represented in GitHub issues and a Trello board.

Roadmap: OpenFaaS Cloud

OpenFaaS Cloud is a platform built on top of the OpenFaaS framework which enables a multi-user experience driven by GitOps. It can be installed wherever you already have OpenFaaS and packages a dashboard along with CI/CD integration with GitHub so that you can push code to a private or public Git repo and get live HTTPS endpoints.

    Looking for statistics? This project does not use a mono-repo, but is split across several components. Use Ken Fukuyama's dashboard to gather accurate counts on contributors, stars and forks across the GitHub organisation.

    Note: any statistics you gather about the openfaas/faas repository will be invalid, the faas repo is not representative of the project's activity.
