But they're usually referring to:
IBM OpenWisk
But they're usually referring to:
Azure Functions
But they're usually referring to:
Google CloudFunctions
"Serverless" Functions
-
Stateless functions in separate containers
-
Each major cloud platform now has a FaaS product
-
You only pay when the function is invoked
-
Supports most major languages: Node.js, Python, C#, Swift
'use strict';
const catNames = require('cat-names');
function getCatName(params) {
return { payload: `Your cat name is ${catNames.random()}.` };
}
module.exports.getCatName;
'use strict';
const catNames = require('cat-names');
function getCatName(event, context, callback) {
callback(null, { payload: `Your cat name is ${catNames.random()}.` });
}
module.exports.getCatName;
OpenWhisk
Lambda

Getting Started
Pick a project, pick a cloud, [pick your tools].
Getting Started
But since most platforms have similar products...
There isn't as much commitment.
Embrace Frameworks
-
Abstracts and automates platform-specific tasks
-
Open-source
