Democratizing Serverless

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Open source Apache 2 serverless platform that packages functions as Docker images and runs them anywhere from laptop to Raspberry Pi, demonstrated by building a Java function with FN run and FN deploy (local mode avoids registry) then FN start showing containers spun, docker pause used to freeze idle instances and measured cold start ~500ms versus hot ~159µs. Control plane runs on Kubernetes but function scheduling avoids k8s because of 0.5–1s scheduling latency. Supports any language, CloudEvents input, and a hosted Oracle service is planned.
