Running serverless applications on Kubernetes is quite new. Most of the options available are still under major development. You can find the ever growing number of FaaS platforms that run on top of Kubernetes in our FaaS category.
At lot of the value proposition people are seeing from using AWS Lambda, to quickly string together batch operations, don’t transfer well to Kubernetes. It is currently quicker and easier to simply use containers for this scenario. Similarly, pushing functions straight to Kubernetes provides little more value than wrapping kubectl deployments.
I expect this to change over time as interfaces standardise. Until that happens I’m taking a bit of a back seat and observing while continuing to play with the technology. If you’re looking for an in-depth comparison of the current state of serverless right now then TheNewStack has produced a great eBook on the subject.
I’d suggest that you download this and use that to form your opinion. This picture came from the eBook, and there are many other interesting data points inside.
