Run code without thinking about servers. Pay only for the compute time you consume. AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. You can set up your code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app. AWS Lambda automatically runs your code without requiring you to provision or manage servers. Just write the code and upload it to Lambda. AWS Lambda automatically scales your application by running code in response to each trigger. Your code runs in parallel and processes each trigger individually, scaling precisely with the size of the workload.

Knative, created originally by Google with contributions from over 50 different companies, delivers an essential set of components to build and run serverless applications on Kubernetes. Knative offers features like scale-to-zero, autoscaling, in-cluster builds, and eventing framework for cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a third-party data center, Knative codifies the best practices shared by successful real-world Kubernetes-based frameworks. Most importantly, Knative enables developers to focus on writing code without the need to worry about the “boring but difficult” parts of building, deploying, and managing their application.

The fastest and easiest platform for running modern back ends. Get happier users with consistently fast response times, and happier and more productive developers with zero infrastructure and maintenance overhead. Merrymake enables developers to focus on their code, not tools. Merrymake is the fastest serverless cloud in the EU, with average cold-starts <300ms, without altering programming languages. Being serverless also enables developers to deploy to cloud with a single git push. And you only pay-per-ms your code runs. Merrymake is infraless, meaning the tools handling service-to-service communication are abstracted away behind a simple and powerful message-passing interface. Further, Merrymake has a flexible and robust indirect communication architecture, that offers fan-out/fan-in, throttling, zero-downtime deployment (aka rolling updates), caching, and streaming with a single command. It also enables easy service refactoring and risk-free testing directly in Production.

Bit is a scalable and collaborative way to build and reuse components. It's everything you need from local development to cross-project integrations. Try it for free. Bit is an open-source toolchain for component-driven development. Forget monolithic apps and distribute to composable software. Distribute component ownership across development teams. Components are easy to replace and refactor over time. Drive development standards and consistency across teams and products. Compose existing components into new ones instead of reinventing the wheel. Build a composable design system and UI. Create a consistent and reusable UI software. Distribute code and teams. Drive autonomy and standards. Scale to cross-team collaboration and bridge the gap between design, development and product. Create a scalable and composable backend that never repeats itself.

Develop more efficiently with Functions, an event-driven serverless compute platform that can also solve complex orchestration problems. Build and debug locally without additional setup, deploy and operate at scale in the cloud, and integrate services using triggers and bindings. End-to-end development experience with integrated tools and built-in DevOps capabilities. Integrated programming model to respond to events and seamlessly connect to other services. Implement a variety of functions and scenarios, such as web apps and APIs with .NET, Node.js, or Java; machine learning workflows with Python; and cloud automation with PowerShell. Get a complete serverless application development experience—from building and debugging locally to deploying and monitoring in the cloud.

Google Cloud Functions has a simple and intuitive developer experience. Just write your code and let Google Cloud handle the operational infrastructure. Develop faster by writing and running small code snippets that respond to events. Connect to Google Cloud or third-party cloud services via triggers to streamline challenging orchestration problems.

Alibaba Cloud Function Compute is a fully managed, event-driven compute service. Function Compute allows you to focus on writing and uploading code without having to manage infrastructure such as servers. Function Compute provides compute resources to run code flexibly and reliably. Additionally, Function Compute provides a generous amount of free resources.

Red Hat Openshift Cloud Functions (OCF) is a FaaS - Function as a Service that can be deployed on Openshift and is based out of Knative a FaaS project in the Kubernetes community. It will enable developers to run code without needing to know anything about the underlying platform specifics. Developers need access to services faster, deploying backend services, platforms or applications can be time-consuming and tedious. This also means developers should not be restricted to any certain language or framework but also to create business value quickly and enhance services by way of FaaS i.e. Function as a Service that can scale a small unit of custom code while depending on other third-party/backend services. Serverless is an architectural model that provides an event-driven way to implement distributed applications that can auto-scale on demand.
