For those who are commenting without reading the post ( I know who you are :) )
> The use-cases for Serverless / FaaS are fairly well-known, but you could use faasd at the edge, in a smart-car, as part of an IoT device, for crunching data before uploading samples to the cloud, for webhook receivers/alerting, bots, webservices, API integrations or even providing your own APIs. Compute is compute, and OpenFaaS with containerd makes it easy to both consume and provide.
See also potential use-cases
Bear in mind that faasd is also used in production where users don't want to maintain a Kubernetes cluster, but do want a few APIs, websites, or functions.
