Kubeless services

The popularity of AWS Lambda, the serverless compute platform, has resulted in many frameworks that allow similar functionality, both as cloud provider-managed (for example, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, and IBM Cloud Functions) and self-managed frameworks. Kubeless is one of the self-managed ones. As in any new fast-moving technology, there is no clear winner yet. Here are some open source alternatives to Kubeless that are Kubernetes friendly:

Serverless (https://serverless.com/): A Node.js-based serverless application framework that can deploy and manage functions on multiple cloud providers, including Azure. Kubernetes support is provided via Kubeless.
OpenFaas (https://www.openfaas.com/): A portable framework, providing ease of use for building serverless functions with Docker and Kubernetes, which has first-class support for metrics.
