I think the modern equivalent of what you are describing is basically the AWS Lambda model of "serverless" applications. In the open source world, there are projects like Funktion[1] and IronFunctions[2] for Kubernetes [1] https://github.com/funktionio/funktion [2] https://github.com/iron-io/functions

yrezgui·Dec 26, 2016

Have a look at IBM solution. It's named OpenWhisk and it's open source: https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk. Otherwise, you may look at Funktion which is using Docker: https://github.com/fabric8io/funktion

I've recently come across funktion[1] which is designed to run on kubernetes (which can run on baremetal). Also there is OpenWhisk[2] which is open sourced by IBM. Probably alot more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head. [1] - https://github.com/fabric8io/funktion. [2] - https://developer.ibm.com/openwhisk/

bglusman·Oct 13, 2016

Me too! We've been considering migrating off Lambda native to serverless or Chalice[1], but I keep thinking kubernetes is perfect for self-hosting this (or could be? Maybe?). I have one thing bookmarked in this direction, funcktion [2], and another that looks less... mature, open lambda [3] but would love to hear thoughts/other options if anyone has tried any of these.

Apex is a framework used to help build and deploy applications on Lambda. This project appears to be a way to run your own Lambda service locally. There are other projects out there like OpenWhisk[1], Iron Worker[2], Gestalt[3], and Funktion[4].
