VisitAWS Lambda vs OpenFaaS
What both publish
| Fact | AWS Lambda | OpenFaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2006 | 2019 |
| Monitoring | Lambda sends logs, metrics, and traces to services such as Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray, and supports third-party monitoring through Lambda extensions. | Standard includes Grafana dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting. |
| Scaling | Lambda automatically scales to incoming request rates and scales down to zero during idle periods; each function can scale up by 1,000 concurrent executions every 10 seconds until it reaches the account concurrency limit. | OpenFaaS supports workload-tuned autoscaling, including scaling to zero when idle. |
| What it does | AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events and manages the underlying compute resources. | OpenFaaS deploys serverless functions and microservices to Kubernetes. |
