I'm always intrigued by any new development in the "serverless" space, but this website seems pretty undercooked and at the moment it doesn't do a good job of explaining what the heck OpenLambda actually is.
After a lot of poking around I read through the linked slides and discovered that OpenLambda aims to let anyone run their own lambda engine - i.e. run AWS Lambda on your local machine. The goal seems to be to let anyone research and innovate on serverless architectures, instead of just waiting to see what Amazon, Google, or Microsoft release. It doesn't really seem to be intended for production use, more just R&D. It also seems to be a student/educational project (?)
The "onboarding" meeting slides (found under the "Development" tab) give a decent overview of what the project is all about - http://www.open-lambda.org/resources/slides/ol-first-meeting.pdf http://www.open-lambda.org/resources/slides/ol-first-meeting...
