Emerging workloads are a good fit for event-driven programming
Execute logic in response to database change
Perform analytics on sensor input messages
Provide cognitive computing via chatbots
Schedule tasks performed for a short time
Invoke autoscaled APIs and mobile backends

OpenWhisk is a
cloud platform that
executes code in
response to events
OpenWhisk enables these serverless, event-driven workloads
Provides serverless deployment and operations model
Runs code only on-demand on a per-request basis
Optimized utilization, fine-grained metering at any scale
Flexible, extensible, polyglot programming model
Open source and open ecosystem (Apache Incubator)
Ability to run in public, private, and hybrid models

Apache OpenWhisk programming model
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Developers work with triggers, actions, rules, and packages
Data sources define events
they emit as Triggers.
Developers map Actions to
Triggers via Rules.
Packages provide integration

Triggers
A class of events that can occurT
Social events
Data changes
Device readings Location updates
User input
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Actions
Code that runs in response to an event
(that is, an event handler)
A
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Actions
Can be written in a variety of languages, such as
JavaScript, Python, Java, and Swift
A
function main(params) {
return { message: 'Hello, ' + params.name + ' from ' + params.place };
};
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Actions
Or any other language by packaging with DockerA
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Actions
Can be composed to create sequences
that increase flexibility and foster reuse
A
AA := A1 + A2 + A3
AB := A2 + A1 + A3
AC := A3 + A1 + A2
IBM Bluemix Apache OpenWhisk
Rules
An association of a trigger to an action
in a many to many mapping.
