Ask HN: FaaS – Serverless Infrastructure Implementations of Cloud Providers

4 pointsby binaryanomalyover 8 years ago
I was wondering whether someone has a deeper understanding of how the different FaaS or serverless offerings of the different cloud providers are effectively implemented backend or infrastructure wise. (AWS Lambda, Azure functions, Google Cloud Functions, ...)<p>Language support:<p>AWS: Java, Node.js, C#, Python<p>Azure: JavaScript, C#, Python, PHP, Bash, Batch, PowerShell<p>Google: JavaScript<p>Google Cloud Functions seems to be based on a managed Node.js environment and is hence limited to .js (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;functions&#x2F;docs&#x2F;concepts&#x2F;overview)<p>AWS and Azure support a multitude of different languages which may look like an ideal docker use case from far. Does anyone know some real facts here?

Have a look at IBM solution. It&#x27;s named OpenWhisk and it&#x27;s open source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openwhisk&#x2F;openwhisk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openwhisk&#x2F;openwhisk</a>. Otherwise, you may look at Funktion which is using Docker: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fabric8io&#x2F;funktion" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fabric8io&#x2F;funktion</a>
