How can this compete with the recently announced AWS Serverless App Repo? [0]

That service is still in preview (and they may not be whitelisting folks yet), but it sure seems like it could be a category killer.

Maybe you're running on non-AWS cloud or on-prem. Maybe you want to run a function that is written in a language that isn't supported by Lambda. Maybe your function is too complex for Lambda or would be too expensive. Maybe you already have a Kubernetes cluster running so deploying OpenFaaS is trivial and comes at no additional cost.
