Kubeless is a Kubernetes-native serverless framework that lets you deploy functions as custom Kubernetes resources, with an in-cluster controller launching runtimes on demand and exposing them over HTTP or PubSub. It supports multiple runtimes including Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, PHP, .NET, and Ballerina, leveraging Kubernetes for auto-scaling, API routing, and monitoring.

Use cases

  • deploy serverless functions on my own kubernetes cluster
  • run function-as-a-service without vendor lock-in
  • trigger functions from pubsub events on kubernetes
  • expose small bits of code as http endpoints in k8s
  • auto-scale functions using kubernetes resources
  • self-hosted alternative to aws lambda

When to choose

  • you want a purely open-source, non-commercial FaaS on Kubernetes
  • you prefer functions managed as Kubernetes custom resources
  • you need multiple language runtimes with custom runtime support

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained project - Kubeless is no longer maintained by VMware
  • you need support for Kubernetes versions beyond 1.15
  • you want a commercially backed serverless platform
