OpenFaaS: Serverless platform with no strings attached?
summary
OpenFaaS is an open source, container‑based FaaS that claims portability across laptop, on‑prem VMs, k3s, Kubernetes and Raspberry Pi while avoiding cloud lock‑in; the core pieces are an API gateway and a lightweight function watchdog that turns HTTP into stdin/stdout. It ships CLI scaffolding, builds Docker images, pushes them and deploys, and exposes Prometheus metrics with Alertmanager‑driven auto‑scaling. A C# example converts a public bike‑share CSV to JSON, is built and deployed via the CLI, and returns working JSON at the gateway URL.
