OpenFaaS backends
OpenFaaS is a framework for building serverless functions with containers and running them at scale.
We support two orchestration platforms or "backends":
- Docker Swarm
- Kubernetes
The Docker Swarm support is built-into the faas repo, but the Kubernetes support is provided by a microservice in the faas-netes repo.
I need a backend for X
This project is focusing on Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, but we're open to support from third parties and vendors for other backends:
Here are some ideas:
- Nomad
- Marathon Mesos
- AWS ECS
- Hyper.sh
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 here.
Backend endpoints:
- List / Create / Delete a function
/system/functions
Method(s): GET / POST / DELETE
- Get a specific function
/system/function/{name:[-a-zA-Z_0-9]+}
Method(s): GET
- Scale a specific function:
/system/scale-function/{name:[-a-zA-Z_0-9]+}
Method(s): POST
- Invoke a specific function
/function/{name:[-a-zA-Z_0-9]+}
Method(s): POST
