An open source GitHub-like platform as an alternative for AWS Lambda

Stuff like this is really useful, although does miss some of the key benefits of Lambda-like services... the connection between billing and usage on a per-function basis, the ability to monetise your functions, the ability to scale genuinely on demand rather than with the lead time required to spin up new containers or VMs.

Some of that is coming, but right now it's only 3 of us who are building this. It also doesn't aim to be a carbon copy of anything - we have a bunch of ideas we would like to explore ourselves (we think it's better for the community this way).

Good stuff in GP list... plus I'm looking for rate limiting to curb abuse (in your service offering).

Good point about the billing. In our case FAAS is not offered by the cloud provider (yet), but we are stuck with them. They want us to spin up a server for every service. We started doing micro-services, but it’s just so much overhead compared to serverless. I rather deploy something like this, even without 1-1 mapping in regards to billing.
