    OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

  • OpenFaaS isn't something I was previous familiar with. Thanks for linking it! In your experience, does it come with much management overhead? Part of what makes Lambda/ECS so appealing is that you can throw a definition (code .zip file or container image) at AWS, and it just runs. With OpenFaaS, it looks like you need to maintain some additional infrastructure (a Kubernetes cluster) to get it working, and that'd give you one more thing to worry about.

  • Previous Serverless Version 0.5.x

    ⚡ Serverless Framework – Use AWS Lambda and other managed cloud services to build apps that auto-scale, cost nothing when idle, and boast radically low maintenance.

  • This was a major show stopper for us.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
