OpenFaaS Function Store

The Function Store is a curated index of OpenFaaS functions which have been tested by the community and chosen for their experience.

See the announcement here

Q&A

• How much does this cost?

It's free

• What's happening conceptually?

The concept is that we will keep a curated list of interesting functions that you can deploy in one-click to your existing OpenFaaS API Gateway using the UI. We do not need access to your API gateway.

We may update the CLI to make use of the store future too.

• Where are functions hosted?

In any public Docker registry whether that be the Docker Hub, Quay or elsewhere.

• Where is the list/definition kept?

We are using a .json file in this repository and GitHub's raw download CDN.

• Why is it called a store if I don't have to pay money?

OpenFaaS Template Store

The Template Store contains all the templates from OpenFaaS and OpenFaaS-Incubator organizations, along with user-defined templates which have been approved by the community.

If you'd like to see your template in the official store follow these steps:

1. Open an issue to propose the template and include a link to your template repository. This should follow the CONTRIBUTION guide for OpenFaaS.
2. Await feedback on, and subsequent approval of, your proposal from the community.
