What both publish
| Fact | Apache OpenWhisk | OpenFaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Intended users | The documentation organizes resources for developers building functions, contributors working on platform components, and operators deploying and hosting the platform. | The pricing page describes CE for personal use, hobbyists, and experimentation, Standard for a single team or tenant, and Enterprise for large organisations and SaaS teams. |
| Scaling | Action instances scale to demand and disappear afterward; the site says users do not pay for idle resources. | OpenFaaS supports workload-tuned autoscaling, including scaling to zero when idle. |
| Support | The developer mailing list is for project design and development, not technical support; the project points users to documentation and community channels for help. | Standard includes self-service email support; Enterprise support is a separate agreement with business-day SLA support and direct engineering support via Slack. |
| What it does | Apache OpenWhisk is an open-source, distributed serverless platform that runs functions in response to events at any scale. | OpenFaaS deploys serverless functions and microservices to Kubernetes. |
