OpenLambda is an Apache-licensed serverless computing project, written

(mostly) in Go and based on Linux containers.  The primary goal of

OpenLambda is to enable exploration of new approaches to serverless

computing.  We hope to eventually make it suitable for use in

production as well.

The main system implemented so far is a single-node OpenLambda worker

that can take HTTP requests and invoke lambdas locally to compute

responses.

You can read more about the **OpenLambda worker** [here](docs/worker/README.md) or just get started

by [deploying a worker](docs/worker/getting-started.md).

We are currently working on a cluster mode, where a pool of VMs

running the worker service are managed by a centralized **OpenLambda

boss**.  With a bit of work, you could also manually deploy workers

yourself and put an HTTP load balancer in front of them.
