    I was curious whether it supported anything other than AWS, on self-hosted "serverless" setups. The components (Lambda, DynamoDB, HTTP API) seem like there would be compatible open-source implementations.

    As a complete novice to the "serverless" concept, I found this:

    https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/

    > Serverless Framework is deploying your code to a cloud provider like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Apache OpenWhisk, Cloudflare Workers, or a Kubernetes-based solution like Kubeless.

    Filtering for self-hosted, looks like these are what I should start studying:

    Kubeless - https://kubeless.io/

    Fn - https://fnproject.io/

    OpenFaaS - https://www.openfaas.com/

    This last one is very interesting for me, but apparently not yet supported by the Serverless Framework. https://forum.serverless.com/t/support-for-openfaas/3023
