Serverless Functions Made Simple for Docker & Kubernetes.
Deploy this app to Linode with a free $100 credit!
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.

Conceptual architecture and stack, more detail available in the docs
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:
```js "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)Golang example (golang-http)
package function
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
handler "github.com/openfaas/templates-sdk/go-http"
)
// Handle a function invocation
func Handle(req handler.Request) (handler.Response, error) {
var err error
message := fmt.Sprintf("Body: %s", string(req.Body))
return handler.Response{
Body: []byte(message),
StatusCode: http.StatusOK,
}, err

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.
