A CNCF working group exploring the intersection of cloud native and serverless technologies through whitepapers, landscapes, and sub-projects.
CNCF Serverless WG is a working group within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation that explores the intersection of cloud native and serverless technologies. It produces whitepapers, maintains an interactive landscape of serverless tools, and incubates sub-projects like CloudEvents and Serverless Workflow to advance the ecosystem.
Cloud architects, platform engineers, and developers involved in serverless technologies who want to stay informed about standards, tools, and community developments.
It provides a neutral, community-driven forum for collaboration and resource-sharing, helping organizations navigate the rapidly evolving serverless landscape without vendor lock-in.
CNCF Serverless WG
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
The Serverless Overview Whitepaper provides comprehensive documentation on concepts and challenges, serving as a key reference for understanding serverless in cloud-native contexts.
The interactive landscape visually maps serverless tools and platforms, helping users efficiently identify and compare options in a complex ecosystem.
Hosts sub-projects like CloudEvents and Serverless Workflow, driving open standards that reduce vendor lock-in and promote interoperability.
Weekly meetings, mailing lists, and Slack channels enable real-time collaboration and knowledge sharing among serverless professionals.
The WG focuses on documentation and community rather than providing executable code, so users must rely on external tools for hands-on solutions.
Resources like whitepapers and landscapes are informational but lack practical, step-by-step guidance for building serverless applications.
As a consensus-driven group, initiatives and updates can be slower compared to agile, single-entity projects, potentially delaying adoption of new ideas.
