Hi, I&#x27;m the founder of OpenFaaS<p>This is a blog post about the MIT licensed version of OpenFaaS ideal for automation&#x2F;marketing tasks and temporary or short-lived workflows.<p>&gt; Learn how Alex bought a set of premium chisels by monitoring the price using HTML scraping and a cron job with OpenFaaS. You can apply the same technique for things you&#x27;d like to buy or monitor.<p>I also compare an LLM vs web scraping, and talk about other real-world use-cases for this kind of approach that we use, and that we&#x27;ve seen other users running in production.<p>Hope you find it interesting&#x2F;useful.
