fx is a self-hosted Function as a Service (FaaS) tool that turns stateless functions into container-based HTTP services in seconds. It supports deploying functions written in many languages (Go, Node, Python, Ruby, Java, Rust, PHP, and more) onto either a Docker host or a Kubernetes cluster.

Use cases

  • run serverless functions on my own server
  • deploy a python function as an http api
  • self-hosted aws lambda alternative
  • turn a stateless function into a containerized service
  • deploy functions to a kubernetes cluster
  • faas tool supporting multiple programming languages

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, self-hosted FaaS without the complexity of OpenFaaS or cloud offerings
  • you need to deploy functions in many different languages quickly
  • you already run Docker or Kubernetes and want simple function deployment

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade autoscaling, monitoring, and event triggers at scale
  • you prefer a managed serverless platform like AWS Lambda
  • you need an actively developed project with frequent releases
