- 22. Press Association From ChrisThorpe We use OpenFaaS as a keystone of our new deployment pipeline, using container functions to execute deployments. I've completely remodelled our deployment pipeline, moving the organisation away from older infrastructure and tooling such as Mercurial, Bamboo and a heavy reliance on Chef. OpenFaaS brings: - much greater automation - resiliency to the deployment process - much quicker deployment times Compelling features: resiliency, portability (within large estate), metrics and auto- scaling.
- 23. Ytel From Daniel Payne: Ytelis a carrier that provides businesses with the ability to communicate with their customers, leads, and prospects. We have implemented OpenFaaS with TypeScript on GCP to pull long running operations out of our API users session, enabling our customers purchase experience to be shorter. We are able to process more transactions quickly with fewer errors by processing some expensive jobs as asynchronous functions, as well as scale more effectively by only scaling the functions that are experiencing high amounts of traffic. Our decision to go with OpenFaas relied heavily on the fact that the Dockerfile is exposed, and not behind a layer as is with many other providers. This enables us to migrate the functions to any stack very easily, allowing us to invest development resources without being locked-in.
- 24. BT, Applied Research FromJoost Noppen BT uses OpenFaaS to completely automate and streamline the packaging and delivery of AI research algorithms and make them available for end-users and other researchers. B Automatic provisioning of end-points, metrics and scaling out-of-the-box means we can put research prototypes into the hands of our users in a fraction of the time and our researchers can keep contributing updates as their models get refined. Particularly appealing is that OpenFaaS' use of industry standards allows us to use the same project definitions both for on premises and in the cloud deployments.
