Born out of IBM research in 2015 and donated to Apache in 2016, OpenWhisk is the currently most mature serverless approach available to run both as a cloud service, as IBM Cloud Functions, and on-premise datacenter. And where you can contribute to the future direction and development yourself. Join us at Goto 10.

Born out of IBM research in 2015 and donated to Apache in 2016, OpenWhisk is the currently most mature serverless approach available to run both as a cloud service, as IBM Cloud Functions, and on-premise datacenter. And where you can contribute to the future direction and development yourself. Currently with 160+ contributors on GitHub including RedHat and Adobe. https://openwhisk.apache.org/

OpenWhisk/IBM Cloud Functions supports a programming model in which developers write functional logic (called Actions https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions.md#openwhisk-actions), in any supported programming language, that can be dynamically scheduled and run in response to associated events (via Triggers https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/triggers_rules.md#creating-triggers-and-rules) from external sources (Feeds https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/feeds.md#implementing-feeds) or from HTTP requests. https://cloud.ibm.com/functions/
