This talk by the project lead covers the highlights and growth of the OpenFaaS project & community from the past 12 months, then focuses on what is to come in 2019.
It has been a year of growing traction with the number of contributors increasing 400%, dozens of new end-users solving real problems with OpenFaaS in production, a milestone of 16k GitHub stars, new ecosystem partners and a second Bossie Award from InfoWorld.com.
Key features that shipped include: the template store, scale-to-zero, stateless microservices, read-only functions and an SDK to support any event source. A managed multi-user platform called OpenFaaS Cloud was released and can be run on-premises or on any cloud as a SaaS connected directly to GitLab or GitHub.
2019 is focused on continuing this growth and preparing for 1.0. The upcoming milestone release will include more features for running OpenFaaS in production, improve the developer experience and make the project even more robust.
