Kubernetes Function-as-a-Service frameworks

Let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room - FaaS. The Kubernetes Job and CronJob are great, and cluster autoscaling and cloud providers managing the infrastructure is awesome. Knative with its scale to zero and traffic routing is super cool. But, what about the actual FaaS? Fear not, Kubernetes has many options here - maybe too many options. There are many FaaS frameworks for Kubernetes:

  • Fission
  • Kubeless
  • OpenFaaS
  • OpenWhisk
  • Riff (built on top of Knative)
  • Nuclio
  • BlueNimble
  • Fn
  • Rainbond

Some of these frameworks have a lot of traction and some of them don’t. Two of the most prominent frameworks I discussed in the previous edition of the book, Kubeless and Riff, have been archived (Riff calls itself complete).

We will look into a few of the more popular options that are still active. In particular we will look at OpenFaaS and Fission.
