+OpenServerless: Kubernetes-based FaaS enabling privacy, GPU-powered workloads,
and private LLMs for innovation.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+Apache OpenServerless is an innovative project from the Apache Incubator,
designed to deliver a versatile and scalable serverless environment compatible
with any cloud provider or Kubernetes distribution. Built upon the robust
Apache OpenWhisk framework, it aims to empower developers to create
applications of any complexity, from simple forms to advanced AI-driven
solutions.
+
+Currently in its preview phase, Apache OpenServerless invites the community to
provide feedback and contributions, accelerating its journey towards a stable
release.
+
+## Key Features of Apache OpenServerless
+Apache OpenServerless integrates three core components that collectively form
a complete serverless ecosystem:
+
+### Serverless Engine Powered by Apache OpenWhisk
+At the heart of Apache OpenServerless lies Apache OpenWhisk, a distributed and
scalable open-source platform for executing serverless functions. OpenWhisk
enables dynamic execution of lightweight code snippets, or "Actions," written
in multiple programming languages. These Actions respond to events (via
triggers) or HTTP requests, seamlessly adapting to various workloads.
+
+### Application Services
+To support various application needs, Apache OpenServerless provides a set of
pre-configured services, including:
+- an S3 compatible storage,
+- a Redis compatible caching,
+- MongoDB and PostgreSQL for both noSQL and SQL.
+
+### Developer-Friendly Tools
+To streamline development, Apache OpenServerless offers:
+- Ready-to-use application templates - kickstarting projects for various use
cases.
+ -Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) - the system offers a
user-friendly CLI for seamless interaction with the serverless platform.
Furthermore a VScode extension is available.
+- Simplified deployment workflows - to build, test, and launch cloud-ready
applications with ease.
+
+### Installs everywhere and control data
+OpenServerless is trying to set new standards in the Function as a Service
(FaaS) landscape. Built on Kubernetes and Apache OpenWhisk, OpenServerless
offers an infrastructure-agnostic approach that can be installed on-premises or
in public clouds. This flexibility ensures that data remains under the control
of the organization, addressing key privacy concerns for industries with strict
data governance requirements. By providing companies with the option to run
their applications on their [...]
+
+## Conclusion
+
+OpenServerless also benefits from the robust, scalable nature of Kubernetes,
making it ideal for handling asynchronous, event-driven workloads that are core
to modern serverless applications. With OpenWhisk’s powerful action-based
execution model, it provides a straightforward framework for developers to
deploy and manage functions seamlessly. The addition of observability tools
allows developers to monitor performance, making it easy to optimize and
troubleshoot.
+
+In essence, OpenServerless is more than just a FaaS—it's a privacy-focused,
Kubernetes-native solution that empowers companies to innovate securely and
effectively. With its unique approach to data control and its ability to
support intensive workloads, OpenServerless is reshaping the serverless
ecosystem and opening up exciting new applications for AI-powered, cloud-native
solutions.
