About Apache OpenServerless

Apache OpenServerless is an Open Source project, released under the Apache License 2.0 providing a portable and complete Serverless environment, allowing to build quickly and easily cloud-native applications.

Our goal is to make OpenServerless ubitiquous, allowing it to easily run a complete and portable environment that runs in every Kubernetes.

OpenServerless is based on Apache OpenWhisk, which provides a powerful, production-ready serverless engine.

However, the serverless engine is just the beginning, because a serverless environment requires a set of integrated services.

OpenServerless provides integrated with OpenWhisk several additional services such as databases, object storage, and a cron scheduler.

Furthermore, we test it on many public cloud Kubernetes services and on-premises Kubernetes vendors.

The platform is paired with a powerful CLI tool, ops, which lets you deploy OpenServerless quickly and easily everywhere, and perform a lot of development tasks.

Our goal is to build a complete distribution of a serverless environment with the following features:

• It is easy to install and manage.

• Integrates all the key services to build applications.

• It is as portable as possible to run potentially in every Kubernetes.

• It is however tested regularly against a set of supported Kubernetes environments.
