Hi there, I have been following the Serverless framework on and off for a while and really like the way it abstracts away implementations towards an almost vendor-independent FAAS platform. In this same vein, I was wondering if there are any plans to support OpenFAAS, which is based on Docker and either Swarm or Kubernetes: [https://github.com/openfaas/faas](https://github.com/openfaas/faas) They seem to have been exploding this year and although still a bit immature, perhaps, sounds like a good candidate for cheap, self-hosted Faas solutions. Any thoughts, anyone’s got some experience with it? Thanks ---

Hey @batjko, we’re working on an OpenFaaS integration right now! Stay tuned for updates, but I’m hopeful it will be out before the end of the year. ---

That’s awesome, looking forward to trying it out then… Thanks for the quick response! ---

Hey @batkjo, Alex here - creator of OpenFaaS. We have a really well thought-out CLI that works in a very similar way to the serverless CLI and is written in Go which makes it super fast, it also uses YAML. @alexdebrie1 is right that we also have a provider for the Serverless Inc CLI in progress. Checkout our official CLI here - [https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli](https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli) and the beginner tutorial here - [https://blog.alexellis.io/quickstart-openfaas-cli/](https://blog.alexellis.io/quickstart-openfaas-cli/) ---

Thanks for your response, @alexellis. At my work, we’re forced to stay away from any kind of vendor lock-in, to be “cloud-deployable” in any country (even those where the big three aren’t present for whatever reason), so in order to make use of lambdas/faas of some kind, a Serverless/OpenFaaS combination would be a really sweet one. ---

I too am looking for a [serverless.com](http://serverless.com) plugin for an on-premise Kubernetes cluster; I tried kubeless, but it’s too buggy, and doesn’t support python 3.6. Looking forward to OpenFaas! ---

Hello @alexdebrie1, searching for FaaS on on-prem Openshift took me here. It would be really interesting to use Serverless framework on OpenFaaS (being a user of Serverless on AWS previously). Do you have a view on when this will be available, or atleast directions to a work in progress project where we can pitch in? Thanks ---

Hi all, I know this is an old post. I’m just wondering if the OpenFaaS integration ever progressed (or is still planned?)? It doesn’t seem to be in the docs? Thanks ---

Gathered that this is an old post, but i’m keen to know if this has actually come to fruition? I’m building a container & faasd hybrid portable envirorment on vagrant for my dev teams, and i’d much rather use something like serverless to enforce portability in our apps, as opposed to an app-specific abstraction. Has this gone anywhere? Thanks.
