👨‍💻 What People Are Saying*:*

"Only been playing with it for a day now, but really amazing bit of kit...makes me wonder why not everyone is talking about it. It is to faas, as sqlite is to MySQL . You get 90% of the power, at 0.5% of the overhead" - Nic Grobler

"Once you have deployed faasd, it's one command to push your function into production. From there it's up to you what you like to build. It builds the container, publishes, and deploys your function code ready-to-use in seconds." - Peter Thaleikis

"Some of my functions are literally quick and dirty hacks that just work and drive value. I can rewrite/optimise later but surprisingly dockerfile or bash template have most of the power I need" - Tomasz Miklas

"After collecting too much dust my Raspberry Pi has found it’s purpose as a “Function-as-a-service” Box (like AWS Lambda), all with open source software by Alex Ellis with faasd for the FaaS and inlets for Ingress." - Chris Dietrich

"Finally got around fixing should-i-watch-this.com. Ditched my fully fledged k8s cluster (which was overly expensive) in favor of a simple faasd droplet for my openfaas backend. thanks Alex, works nicely!" - Alexis Reigel

faasd as i type Alex - it’s just what we need . Thank you" - Richard Hill
