Fission

Fission is a fast serverless framework for Kubernetes with a focus on developer productivity and high performance.

It's heavily customizable (but with sensible defaults), extensible to any language, and interoperates well with other infrastructure.

You can create and edit functions throughs a web UI, or you can use your favorite editor and upload them using a CLI. You can trigger these functions via HTTP requests to paths, or by timers.

Running Fission

On your own Kubernetes cluster

Setup Kubernetes

https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube

Get and Run Fission

$ wget http://example.com/fission.yaml $ kubectl create -f fission.yaml

Status

Fission is in early alpha.

Performance

The goal is to have less than 1 second latency for requests that don't have a running instance. In practice, benchmarks show this latency at TODO msec for the NodeJS environment.

Here's a simple hello world benchmark on NodeJS: TODO. It achieves TODO requests per second on a TODO-node Kubernetes cluster.
