Developers wanting a tool to run their code, configure, and prepare instances of functions
About Yandex Cloud Functions
Run code as a function in a secure, fault-tolerant, and automatically scalable environment without creating or maintaining VMs. As the number of function calls increases, the service automatically creates additional instances of your function. All functions run in parallel. The runtime environment is hosted in three availability zones, ensuring availability even if one zone fails. Configure and prepare instances of functions always ready to process loads. This mode allows you to avoid cold starts and quickly process loads of any size. Give functions access to your VPC to accelerate interactions with private resources, database clusters, virtual machines, Kubernetes nodes, etc. Serverless Functions tracks and logs information about function calls and analyzes execution flow and performance. You can also describe logging mechanisms in your function code. Launch cloud functions in synchronized mode and delayed execution mode.

OpenFaaS
Serverless functions, made simple. OpenFaaS® makes it simple to deploy both functions and existing code to Kubernetes. Avoid lock-in through the use of Docker. Run-on any public or private cloud. Build both microservices & functions in any language. Legacy code and binaries. Auto-scale for demand or to zero when idle. Bring your laptop, your own on-prem hardware, or create a cluster in the cloud. Let Kubernetes do the heavy lifting enabling you to build a scalable, fault-tolerant event-driven serverless platform for your applications. You can try out OpenFaaS in 60 seconds or write and deploy your first Python function in around 10-15 minutes. From there you can take the OpenFaaS workshop, a series of tried-and-tested self-paced labs which teach you everything you need to know about functions, and more. An ecosystem for sharing, reusing, and collaborating on functions. Reduce boilerplate code, and share code in the templates store.
