LeverOS seems to be an open source implementation of a lambda service for running event-driven, "serverless" applications, aka an implementation of the idea that drives AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions.

The Serverless Framework is one of several frameworks for writing serverless applications. The name of this framework is unfortunate as "serverless" is a generic term referring to event-driven applications, but has certainly benefited from the confusion that its authors have caused.

Those less familiar with these products can look at this as "RPC as a Service".

BOOM! You use words connected to real-world IT practice and suddenly I know what it does. They should try that. Appreciate it. :)
