The document provides an overview of serverless computing with OpenFaas, including:
- OpenFaas allows packaging of any function within a container and running it on-premise or in the cloud on Kubernetes or Docker Swarm.
- The OpenFaas architecture includes a gateway for routing to functions, a UI, and autoscaling via Prometheus and AlertManager.
- Functions are simple containers running a single process, monitored by a watchdog container. Sample Node.js and Python functions and templates are shown.
- The faas-cli can be used to create, build, and deploy new functions along with configuration via YAML for settings like environment variables and secrets.
