5 open source frameworks for serverless computing

Source – infoworld.com Sometimes all you need is a single function.

It’s cheap, it uses minimal resources, and it has little management overhead. Most of what we currently identify as serverless computing kicked off with AWS Lambda, later joined by similar services on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform,
