Gasper, Your Cloud in a Binary
- alexellisuk 7y agoHave you seen OpenFaaS? https://github.com/openfaas/faas https://github.com/openfaas/faas It seems like it covers most of your use-cases and with more modularity and scale-out on Kubernetes if needed. For single node use k3s or Docker Swarm.
- alphadoze 7y agoAuthor Here: Gasper serves a use case different from OpenFaas. OpenFaas needs a specific functional configuration for deployment like https://github.com/openfaas-incubator/node10-express-template https://github.com/openfaas-incubator/node10-express-templat... , hence it cannot deploy generalized applications such as https://github.com/sdslabs/gasper-sample-nodejs https://github.com/sdslabs/gasper-sample-nodejs As stated in the readme, Gasper is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) and not Functions as a Service (FaaS) like OpenFaas. Gasper can deploy any generic application such as https://github.com/sdslabs/gasper-sample-ruby-on-rails https://github.com/sdslabs/gasper-sample-ruby-on-rails with little configuration i.e the user doesn’t need to create specific Functions for his service. He can make any generic application in a language of his/her choice and deploy it via Gasper. The same goes for creating databases via Gasper. You can think of it as an open-source WIP alternative to Heroku (https://www.heroku.com/ https://www.heroku.com/) and Render (https://render.com https://render.com) with super-easy setup procedures and high scalability and reliability
