Not about the article, but: OpenFaaS' Pricing Page[1] has no pricing on it whatsoever.<p>You could guess that since the Community edition is MIT licensed that it's free, but then again the language right above it says "non-production or experimental use", where Standard says "production and business use". Now, MIT I know basically means "It's on you, so if you wanna go prod go prod", but that wording just isn't friendly.<p>Looking over the Community Edition further, I'd honestly be stunned who would ever use this, and thus, what, if anything, about this is "Open":<p>- Only 5 replicas per function, ie, hope any given function doesn't have more than 5 invocations at once.<p>- No "scale to zero", (which is the usual cost benefit of serverless)<p>- There is an in-mem queue, except it's being End-of-Life'd in June, which is... a week from now.<p>- It does separately support cron triggers! This is great.<p>- It does not support any other triggers except direct call.<p>- Can't integrate it with any other K8s deployment tool<p>I honestly cannot fathom why someone would use this.<p>1. <a href="https://www.openfaas.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.openfaas.com/pricing/</a>
