however, our research priorities and focus have since changed, limiting our time devoted to the maintenance of the repo.\nPlease be aware of this situation.\n\n# Overview\n\n![](logo/KNIX_logo_horizontal.jpg)\n\n**KNIX MicroFunctions** is an open source serverless computing platform for Knative as well as bare metal or virtual machine-based environments.\nIt combines container-based resource isolation with a light-weight process-based execution model that significantly improves resource efficiency and decreases the function startup overhead.\n\n\nCompared with existing serverless computing platforms, **KNIX MicroFunctions** has the following advantages:\n\n* Low function startup latency \u0026 high resource efficiency\n* Fast locality-aware storage access\n* Python and Java function runtimes\n* Workflow support and compatibility with [Amazon States Language (ASL)](https://states-language.net/spec.html)\n* Support for long-running functions for continuous data processing applications\n* Powerful web UI, SDK and CLI for effective serverless application development\n\n# Screenshots\n\n![](GUI/app/pages/docs/intro/mfn.gif?raw=true)\n\n![](GUI/app/pages/docs/intro/wf_exec.gif?raw=true)\n\n\n# Installation\n\nThis section covers installing KNIX.\n\n### Installing KNIX MicroFunctions on Kubernetes\n\nKNIX can be installed using helm charts, assuming you have a Kubernetes cluster and Knative running.\n\nPlease refer to the Helm package deployment [README](deploy/helm/microfunctions/README.md).\n\n### Installing KNIX MicroFunctions on Bare Metal or Virtual Machines\n\nKNIX MicroFunctions can also be installed using Ansible playbooks on bare metal or virtual machines. You'll need a user with sudo access.\n\nPlease refer to the installation [README](deploy/ansible/README.md).\n\n# Hosted Service\n\nMore info on hosted services for hands-on experimentation with the **KNIX MicroFunctions** platform can be found at: [https://knix.io](https://knix.io).\n\n# Getting Involved\n\nWe encourage you to participate in this open source project. We welcome pull requests, bug reports, ideas, code reviews, or any kind of positive contribution.\n\nBefore you attempt to make a contribution please read the [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).\n\n* [View current Issues](https://github.com/knix-microfunctions/knix/issues) or [view current Pull Requests](https://github.com/knix-microfunctions/knix/pulls).\n\n* Join our Slack workspace [https://knix.slack.com](https://join.slack.com/t/knix/shared_invite/zt-dm7agzna-8~cVsYqAMKenxFhFDARjvw) which has 'users' and 'dev' channels.\n\n* (Optionally) subscribe to [knix-users mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/knix-users) and/or [knix-dev mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/knix-dev).\n\n# License\n\n[Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/knix-microfunctions/knix/blob/master/LICENSE)\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fknix-microfunctions%2Fknix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fknix-microfunctions%2Fknix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fknix-microfunctions%2Fknix/lists"}
