About IBM Cloud Functions

Based on Apache OpenWhisk, IBM Cloud Functions is a polyglot functions-as-a-service (FaaS) programming platform for developing lightweight code that scalably executes on demand. IBM Cloud Functions offers access to the Apache OpenWhisk ecosystem, where anyone can contribute code. IBM Cloud Functions enables developers to build apps with action sequences that execute in response to events. IBM Cloud Functions makes cognitive analysis of application data inherent to your workflows. Costs increase only as you construct more OpenWhisk-intensive solutions or need to support larger workloads.
