Examples of events include changes to database records, IoT sensor readings
that exceed a certain temperature, new code commits to a GitHub repository, or
simple HTTP requests from web or mobile apps. Events from external and internal
event sources are channeled through a trigger, and rules allow actions to react
to these events.
-Actions can be small snippets of JavaScript or Swift code, or custom binary

+Actions can be small snippets of code (JavaScript, Swift and many other
languages are supported), or custom binary code embedded in a Docker container.
Actions in OpenWhisk are instantly deployed and executed whenever a trigger
fires. The more triggers fire, the more actions get invoked. If no trigger
fires, no action code is running, so there is no cost.
In addition to associating actions with triggers, it is possible to directly
invoke an action by using the OpenWhisk API, CLI, or iOS SDK. A set of actions
can also be chained without having to write any code. Each action in the chain
is invoked in sequence with the output of one action passed as input to the
next in the sequence.
