What Hacker News says

Hi - we're seeing quite a bit of interest in faasd, so I was happy to do this talk and show off a bit about why we built it and who it's for. TLDR - there are use-cases that make this more compelling - but OpenFaaS on K8s is still the premium, and recommended production stack for many users. For the slides - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gHPPARYsXhtVYTEzUO31sXE8QKS... For GitHub - https://github.com/openfaas/faasd
In Show HN: faasd. Look Ma’ No Kubernetes Use-Case and Case-Studies
