To find out more about the OpenFaaS templates see the faas-cli.
Note: The templates are completely customizable - so if you want to alter them please do fork them and use
faas template pullto make use of your updated versions.
This repository contains the Classic OpenFaaS templates, but many more are available in the Template Store.
Most of the original Classic Templates are retained or backwards compatibility, but are deprecated.
See: faas-cli template store list to see which templates are both: recommended and official for the language you wish to use.

A number of long deprecated templates have been moved out of this repository into a new repository to indicate their End Of Life (EOL) status.
In most cases, alternatives have already been provided and are listed int the Function Store, or the Languages section of the OpenFaaS documentation.
Moved templates:
- go
- python3
- python3-debian
- python27
- ruby
- csharp
- bun-express
- node
The current version of OpenFaaS templates use the original watchdog which forks processes - a bit like CGI. The newer watchdog of-watchdog is more similar to fastCGI/HTTP and should be used for any benchmarking or performance testing along with one of the newer templates. Contact the project for more information.
This repository is for templates supported by the project maintainers, if you'd like to submit your own template to the OpenFaaS Template Store then checkout the store:
