> The use-cases for Serverless / FaaS are fairly well-known, but you could use faasd at the edge, in a smart-car, as part of an IoT device, for crunching data before uploading samples to the cloud, for webhook receivers/alerting, bots, webservices, API integrations or even providing your own APIs. Compute is compute, and OpenFaaS with containerd makes it easy to both consume and provide.

Bear in mind that faasd is also used in production where users don't want to maintain a Kubernetes cluster, but do want a few APIs, websites, or functions.
