Kubefaas: Serverless Functions for Kubernetes

Kubefaas is a Function-as-a-Service framework for Kubernetes based on Fission.

Kubefaas abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes which allows you to focus on your daily routines.

Kubefaas currently supports most of the popular programming languages like NodeJS, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, and any Linux executable. Want a custom runtime environment? No problem, you can also create a custom runtime environment and use it for your function.

Kubernetes is the right place for Serverless

We're built on Kubernetes because we think any non-trivial app will use a combination of serverless functions and more conventional microservices, and Kubernetes is a great framework to bring these together seamlessly.

Building on Kubernetes also means that anything you do for operations on your Kubernetes cluster — such as monitoring or log aggregation — also helps with ops on your Kubefaas deployment.

Usage

  # Add the stock NodeJS env to your Kubefaas deployment
  $ kubefaas env create --name nodejs --image kubefaas/node-env

  # A javascript one-liner that prints "hello world"
  $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srcmesh/kubefaas/master/examples/nodejs/hello.js > hello.js

  # Upload your function code to kubefaas
  $ kubefaas function create --name hello --env nodejs --code hello.js

  # Map GET /hello to your new function
  $ kubefaas route create --method GET --url /hello --function hello

  # Run the function.  This takes about 100msec the first time.
  $ kubefaas function test --name hello
  Hello, world!
