Apache OpenWhisk™ is an open source, distributed Serverless computing project.
Specifically, it is able to execute application logic (Actions) in response to events (Triggers) from external sources (Feeds) governed by simple conditional logic (Rules) around the event data.
It provides a programming model for registering and managing Actions, Triggers and Rules supported by a REST-based Command Line Interface (CLI) along with tooling to support packaging and catalog services.
The project includes a catalog of built-in system and utility Actions and Feeds, along with a robust set of samples that demonstrate how to integrate OpenWhisk with various external service providers (e.g., GitHub, Slack, etc.) along with several platform and run-time Software Development Kits (SDKs).
The code for the Actions, along with any support services implementing Feeds, are packaged according to this specification to be compatible with the OpenWhisk catalog and its tooling. It also serves as a means for architects and developers to model OpenWhisk package Actions as part of full, event-driven services and applications providing the necessary information for artifact and data type validation along with package management operations.
This specification is intended to be compatible with the following specifications:
