  • The Serverless framework is an open source npm package that makes it easier to deploy serverless functions into various platforms. Its YAML configuration provides a standard abstraction to the serverless application structure, environment, and resources.

  • nodeOpenwhisk

  • I hope you find this article useful. The example source code can be found here.

  • postman-app-support

    Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

  • We can test it using the Serverless invoke function as below. Alternatively, we can also use tools such as cURL or Postman to invoke the action.

  • OpenWhisk

    Apache OpenWhisk is an open source serverless cloud platform

  • cd openwhisk-deploy-kube helm repo add openwhisk https://openwhisk.apache.org/charts helm repo update helm install owdev openwhisk/openwhisk -n openwhisk --create-namespace -f /deploy/docker-macOS/mycluster.yaml

  • helm

    The Kubernetes Package Manager

  • We’ll also need to use Helm as the package manager for the local Kubernetes cluster. To install Helm, run this command:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
