If you would like to write your own back-end for `X` then you can write your own microservice that conforms to the [Swagger API](https://github.com/alexellis/faas/tree/master/api-docs) here.
### How does my back-end work?
In order to support a new back end you will write a new "external_provider" and configure this on the API Gateway. The API Gateway will then proxy any requests to your new microservice. The first "external_provider" was the Kubernetes implementation [faas-netes](https://github.com/alexellis/faas-netes):

### Automatically compatible OpenFaaS
The following are fully compatible with any additional back-ends:
* API Gateway
* Promethes metrics (tracked through API Gateway)
* The built-in UI portal (hosted on the API Gateway)
* The Function Watchdog and any existing OpenFaaS functions
* The [CLI](https://github.com/alexellis/faas-cli)
* Asynchronous function invocation
Dependent on back-end:
* Secrets or environmental variable support
* Windows Containers function runtimes (i.e. via W2016 and Docker)
* Scaling - dependent on underlying API (available in Docker & Kubernetes)
#### Backend endpoints:
* List / Create / Delete a function

#### faas-netes (Kubernetes)
The Kubernetes integration was written by Alex Ellis and is officially supported by the project.
