Faast.js

This looks great! I have an upcoming processing-intesive project I hope to test this out on soon. I especially like the cost estimate feature, that isn't something I've seen in…

From what I can tell, it's the invocation model and deployment that is unique here? You invoke faast from your local machine (or build server, or cron job, whatever), and in turn…

Love what you did! We resently were exactly in a situation where we had to do heavy processing of ~4000 items each running between 1-10minutes. To speed the process up we ran it…

Very interesting project, the problem with Serverless service provided by different public cloud vendors is that programming and API are not uniform. I think Faast.js is on the…

Hi, Do you think serverless pricing model contradicts with batch operations ? I think that you normally pay for duration of tasks and ram usage etc. Batch jobs are supposed to be…

Very cool. Worth checking out a similar project Durable Functions. However those orchestrations can run in serverless and can scale to zero during the “waiting for other tasks”…

This is neat, but would be more useful if it could deploy cloud functions made in language {x} and provide local js proxies for them.

Python is a good place to start.

Honestly, I would want java. Probably would have to provide a mapping spec file (like IDL) to help generate the mediation code between the local proxies and the deployed functions.

Wow that's awesome. I'll have a look at it ASAP. We have actually just converted our lambda code to run on a multi core machine + much wiser algorithms to massively speed up the…

This is very neat! Last year I had to essentially do this on GCP and relied on a very similar implementation. Everyone was surprised to see JS being used for data processing but…

Doesn't Serverless (the framework, not the concept) abstract this away? https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/ (not familiar enough with that framework to form an…

Pywren (http://pywren.io/) seems to be basically this project, but in Python

Very cool. Worth checking out a similar project Durable Functions. However those orchestrations can run in serverless and can scale to zero during the “waiting for other tasks”…

Looks interesting. The concept reminds me of RPyC
