Nimbella vs FaaS: What are the differences?

Developers describe Nimbella as "Simple serverless cloud for developers". It is designed specifically to address the challenges developers face in adopting a serverless computing model. There is little doubt that serverless is radically changing the way cloud applications are developed. Stop wasting time on infrastructure management for your Cloud Apps. Build & run stateful apps, frontend + backend, and stateful APIs in minutes. On the other hand, FaaS is detailed as "Functions as a Service (on Docker Swarm)". FaaS is a platform for building serverless functions on Docker Swarm Mode with first class metrics. Any UNIX process can be packaged as a function in FaaS enabling you to consume a range of web events without repetitive boiler-plate coding.

Nimbella and FaaS can be primarily classified as "Serverless / Task Processing" tools.

FaaS is an open source tool with 18.3K GitHub stars and 1.52K GitHub forks. Here's a link to FaaS's open source repository on GitHub.

This lowers the total cost of maintaining your apps, enabling you to build more logic, faster. The Framework uses new event-driven compute services, like AWS Lambda, Google CloudFunctions, and more.
      Kubernetes
      Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
      NGINX
      nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server, written by Igor Sysoev. According to Netcraft nginx served or proxied 30.46% of the top million busiest sites in Jan 2018.
      Apache HTTP Server
