OpenLambda is an open-source serverless computing platform written in Go, based on Linux containers, with a single-node worker that invokes lambdas via HTTP and an emerging cluster mode with a centralized boss. It primarily serves as a research vehicle for exploring new serverless approaches, with production readiness as a longer-term goal.
Use cases
- run a self-hosted serverless function platform
- research new serverless container provisioning techniques
- invoke lambda functions over HTTP on a single node
- experiment with serverless-optimized containers
- build a small FaaS cluster without a cloud provider
When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hosted FaaS alternative for experimentation
- you are doing serverless systems research and need a hackable platform
- you want to run lambda-style functions on Linux containers without vendor lock-in
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, battle-tested FaaS with autoscaling and multi-tenant guarantees
- you need managed serverless with per-request billing
- you are not on Linux, since it depends on Linux containers
