Even though OpenWhisk was originally designed for event based programming, it
offers several benefits for user-facing applications. For example, when you
combine it with a small Node.js stub, you can use it to serve applications that
are relatively easy to debug. And because OpenWhisk applications are a lot less
computationally intensive than running a server process on a PaaS platform,
they are considerably cheaper, as well.
-Full web applications can be built and run with OpenWhisk. Combining
serverless APIs with static file hosting for site resources, e.g. HTML,
JavaScript and CSS, means we can build entire serverless web applications. The
simplicity of operating a hosted OpenWhisk environment (or rather not having to
operate anything at all since it is hosted on Bluemix) is a great benefit
compared to standing up and operating a Node.js Express or other traditional
server runtime.

"--annotation web-export true", which makes the code accessible from a web
browser.
