It: "powered by Rust + Apache Iceberg"

Me: Oh cool, can I run it in my k8s cluster? <clicks link>

It: "designed specifically for AWS"

Me: disappointed and annoyed by title

Looking at that service diagram, "Powered by AWS services" seems more accurate.

Related, "powered by Rust" I guess is some kind of shorthand way of saying "powered by Kotlin, TypeScript, Python, Rust, but mostly TypeScript"

In fairness to the project, I think that clickbait was just the submission title, I don't see that language in the GH page at all

Over enough time on HN you start to notice patterns of things that are easy low-hanging upvotes. Of course we can't do anything with upvotes, but we can do things with clicks and usage metrics, and I'd imagine that Hn is a considered market when it comes to introducing something to the greater tech community. A lot of us tend to have some degree of decision making capability and influence in our orgs.

downvote and flag buttons. you only need a handful alt accounts get any comment you dislike [dead] or [flagged], and it only takes one successful submission of a yuppie clickbait article per alt

We need a solid open source and portable serverless platform. Using lambda gets you locked into lambda.

There is OpenFaaS (https://www.openfaas.com), but surprisingly there's no hosted OpenFaaS services.

There are lots. This is one: https://knative.dev/docs/

> serverless

> run in my k8s cluster

Those two don't really go together. ;)

Kidding aside, yeah we definitely leverage all the power of AWS services to give a completely serverless experience.

There are plenty of FOSS serverless options

Thanks, yes, I mentioned OpenFaaS in a sibling and find it very interesting as a possible standard, but realistically there isn't currently a way to deploy OpenFaaS compatible functions to hosted providers (I actually couldn't find anyone offering a hosted OpenFaaS service).

So currently, one would have to maintain the OpenFaaS control plane themselves, which takes away most of the benefits for an end user using serverless (would still have ops and no multi-tenant cost benefit).
