FaaS vs OpenFaaS: What are the differences?
Developers describe FaaS 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. On the other hand, OpenFaaS is detailed as "Serverless Functions Made Simple for Kubernetes and Docker". Serverless Functions Made Simple for Docker and Kubernetes.
FaaS and OpenFaaS can be primarily classified as "Serverless / Task Processing" tools.
FaaS and OpenFaaS are both open source tools. It seems that OpenFaaS with 14.8K GitHub stars and 1.17K forks on GitHub has more adoption than FaaS with 14.8K GitHub stars and 1.17K GitHub forks.
