Kick the tires with faasd today, for a lightweight serverless experience that doesn’t require Kubernetes. Instead it uses containerd and the existing OpenFaaS ecosystem. By Alex Ellis.
You can run faasd anywhere, even on a Raspberry Pi, but why would you want to do that? faasd offers many of the benefits of containers and OpenFaaS, but without the complexity and operational costs of Kubernetes. containerd is a low-level tool for automating containers, and a CNCF project.
