Apache OpenWhisk vs. Azure Functions vs. DBOS vs. PowerShell Comparison Chart

Apache OpenWhisk is an open source, distributed Serverless platform that executes functions (fx) in response to events at any scale. OpenWhisk manages the infrastructure, servers and scaling using Docker containers so you can focus on building amazing and efficient applications. The OpenWhisk platform supports a programming model in which developers write functional logic (called Actions), in any supported programming language, that can be dynamically scheduled and run in response to associated events (via Triggers) from external sources (Feeds) or from HTTP requests. The project includes a REST API-based Command Line Interface (CLI) along with other tooling to support packaging, catalog services and many popular container deployment options. Since Apache OpenWhisk builds its components using containers it easily supports many deployment options both locally and within Cloud infrastructures. Options include many of today's popular Container frameworks.

A simpler, more secure way to build fault-tolerant cloud applications, powered by the revolutionary cloud-native DBOS operating system. Based on 3 years of joint MIT-Stanford open source R&D, DBOS revolutionizes cloud-native architecture. DBOS is a cloud-native OS that builds on a relational database to radically simplify today's complex cloud application stacks. DBOS powers DBOS Cloud, a transactional serverless platform that provides fault-tolerance, observability, cyber-resilience, and easy cloud deployment to stateful TypeScript applications. OS services are implemented on top of a distributed DBMS. Built-in transactional, fault-tolerant state management that simplifies the stack, with no need for containers, cluster management, or workflow orchestration. Seamless scaling, high performance, and high availability. Metrics, logs, and traces are stored in SQL-accessible tables. Smaller cyber attack surface, cyberattack self-detection, and cyber-resilience.
