Probably a good time to mention the CNCF Serverless Workgroup and the Serverless landscape. It lists all the Kubernetes-native Serverless frameworks as well as the proprietary ones.

OpenWhisk was one of the first projects in this space and is written entirely in Scala. Good to see a Kubernetes integration emerging.

Other notable projects: Oracle's Fn, Bitnami's Kubeless, Platform 9's Fission, Iguazio's Nuclio and OpenFaaS (community project). (there are more)

Red Hat is participating as well:

They're really invested in Kubernetes with their open source OpenShift PaaS.

You can except more commitment to Kube from OpenWhisk.

For JS developers looking for a Backend-as-a-Service, Hoodie(http://hood.ie/) deserves a mention: <Hoodie is an Offline First, noBackend architecture. Its Dreamcode API gives you user signup and administration, data storage, loading, synchronisation and shares, emails and payments and can be extended with plugins. Hoodie is written in JavaScript and Node.JS and relies on CouchDB.>
