A serverless functions platform like SanFran can be deployed on your existing Kubernetes cluster. It will sit besides all your existing apps on there using resources only when needed. You can have many more services (functions) running / deployed than the size of your cluster.
It can be a way for anyone within the organization to deploy a function they need. For example marketing needs a quick endpoint to handle Mailchimp registrations or for Stripe payments. The function will not take up resources on the cluster until its needed. Functions will run in a isolated, devops free environment.
Technically you're not running on top of another framework, your javascript function is just running in a NodeJS instance thats managed there are no extra layers. Your NodeJS instance is running on Kubernetes but then why do I need Kubernetes is an entirely different discussion.
