Most of the Azure Functions codebase is actually open source under the MIT License: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions
- polskibus 9y agoThat's great but it would be good to know what's missing? Can I take that repo, deploy it and start selling FaaS?
- CodeM0nkey 9y agoI don't know the answer to that myself unfortunately. I know the entirety of the runtime itself is OSS and when you do local run/debug of a Function it's the same runtime that Azure uses. It's not an apples to apples comparison though since OpenWhisk is intended to be self deployed. I mentioned Functions here just because many folks don't know that most Azure SDKs, runtimes, tooling, etc are OSS by default.
- polskibus 9y agoThat's the problem though. It doesn't matter much that it's open source if it is not usable in a sense that you can't easily deploy it yourself or repurpose, without committing (and paying) for the rest of Azure stack.
