Kubernetes Serverless Platforms

This project is a Kubernetes serverless framework and OCI container function platform. It provides a system for deploying event-driven functions and microservices as compatible container images onto a Kubernetes cluster. The platform includes an event-driven function orchestrator that triggers executions via HTTP requests or message streams. It features an auto-scaling function manager that adjusts the number of active instances based on real-time demand and scales down to zero during inactivity. A background queuing system is included to process asynchronous tasks and maintain application re

OpenWhisk is a serverless cloud platform designed for deploying and executing stateless functions in response to API calls or events. It serves as a complete serverless stack, providing an API gateway for functions, a function-as-a-service runtime manager, and an event-driven workflow engine. The platform distinguishes itself through a polyglot execution model that supports multiple language runtimes and allows for the creation of custom runtimes using Docker containers. It enables complex logic through function orchestration and composition, allowing multiple functions to be chained into seq

Kubeless is a Kubernetes-native serverless framework that deploys and runs stateless functions as custom resources managed by an in-cluster controller. It functions as a Function-as-a-Service platform, launching function runtime pods on demand and scaling them to zero when idle to optimise resource usage. Functions are invoked automatically through HTTP requests or a publish-subscribe messaging bus, enabling event-driven execution for workloads and microservices. The platform supports running functions written in Golang, Python, Node.js, Ruby, PHP, .NET, and Ballerina, with the ability to add

Fission is a function-as-a-service platform and serverless framework for Kubernetes. It manages the lifecycle and execution of code snippets as serverless functions, providing an orchestrator that triggers these functions based on HTTP requests, message queues, or scheduled events. The platform features a cold-start optimized runtime that utilizes warm container pools and dynamic loaders to achieve millisecond execution. It includes a native autoscaler to adjust the number of function instances based on real-time traffic demand and supports canary release testing to split incoming traffic bet

Nuclio is a high-performance serverless framework designed for Kubernetes that automatically executes user functions when events arrive from HTTP endpoints, message queues, or streaming data platforms. It processes hundreds of thousands of events per second per function instance through efficient parallel workers, and can allocate functions to run on either CPU or GPU hardware to match workload requirements for data processing or machine learning tasks. The platform scales function instances down to zero when idle and wakes them on demand based on incoming event load, while providing an event

OpenFaaS is a serverless function platform that provides a container-native framework for deploying and managing event-driven code. It functions as an abstraction layer over container orchestrators, allowing developers to package code into scalable functions that run across Kubernetes clusters or edge computing environments. The platform distinguishes itself through a developer-centric runtime that utilizes standardized language templates and automated build pipelines to simplify the creation of container images. It features a central API gateway that manages request routing, authentication,

This project is a Go language library that provides a programmatic interface for interacting with the Kubernetes API server. It serves as a client for managing cluster resources, offering both typed interfaces for compile-time safety and dynamic interfaces for unstructured data and custom resource management. The library includes a controller framework designed for building event-driven automation. This framework utilizes informers to maintain local resource caches and rate-limited work queues to decouple event detection from state reconciliation. High availability is supported through a lead

Strimzi is a Kubernetes operator that automates the deployment, management, and lifecycle of Apache Kafka clusters on Kubernetes or OpenShift. It uses custom resource definitions and declarative YAML configuration to define Kafka cluster topology, broker placement, and security settings, with operator-based controllers that reconcile the desired state with the actual cluster state. The operator handles rolling updates during cluster upgrades or configuration changes to maintain availability and data integrity, and supports rack-aware broker scheduling across Kubernetes nodes and availability
