[–] cfjedimaster 8y ago ↗ OpenWhisk - an open source project (http://openwhisk.apache.org/) supported by IBM, Red Hat, and others. I've got quite a few blog posts on it if you want to see some examples (https://www.raymondcamden.com).Disclaimer - I work for IBM.
[–] randomf1fan 8y ago ↗ Microsoft Azure has "Functions" which is their name for serverlesshttps://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/
[–] mindfulmonkey 8y ago ↗ Good list here:https://github.com/anaibol/awesome-serverless [–] twobyfour 8y ago ↗ Awesome resource - thank you!
[–] QuinnyPig 8y ago ↗ iron.io had a thing a while back; I've not checked in on them lately.There's always "build a container farm and do it yourself," but that doesn't make sense until you've scaled significantly. [–] twobyfour 8y ago ↗ What's the point of "serverless" if you're going to run your own servers for it? (Honest question, no snark intended.)

[–] KukicAdnan 8y ago ↗ https://webtask.io is another alternative. A lot easier to deploy and manage, but only runs Node.js/JS./disclaimer: Work at Auth0, Webtask is one of our products. [–] assafmo 8y ago ↗ Also only 1 req/sec on the free plan
