Nuclio
Serverless platforms promise to run your code only when it is needed; Nuclio adds the part they usually skip, raw throughput for data-heavy work, with a single function instance able to process hundreds of thousands of HTTP requests or records per second. You write functions in Python, Go, Node.js, Java, .NET, or plain Shell, and deploy them from the dashboard on port 8070, from the nuctl command line, or from Jupyter through the Nuclio SDK. Events reach your code through HTTP calls, cron schedules, Kafka and Kinesis streams, MQTT and NATS messages, RabbitMQ queues, or Azure Event Hubs, so the same function model covers APIs, stream processors, and scheduled jobs. Each function ships as its own container, built securely with Kaniko, and scales on plain Docker for a single server or on Kubernetes when the workload outgrows one machine, with GPU support for inference and media pipelines. Projects organise functions with shared configuration, secrets, and API gateways, and the dashboard shows invocations, logs, and metrics while templates for common jobs get a first function running in minutes. Data science teams plug Nuclio into MLRun and Kubeflow Pipelines to serve models and automate ML workflows without a separate serving tier. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Rivet
Stateful serverless actors that run indefinitely, sleep when idle, and persist state across restarts without external database round trips. Rivet provides a vendor-neutral alternative to Cloudflare Durable Objects, delivering long-running processes with co-located in-memory state and per-actor SQLite databases on any infrastructure you choose. The Rust engine comprises four packages: Pegboard for actor orchestration, Gasoline for durable execution, Guard for traffic routing via Envoy, and Epoxy implementing multi-region KV storage through EPaxos consensus. Each actor maintains instant-access in-memory state plus a dedicated SQLite database for relational queries, backed by RocksDB on single nodes or PostgreSQL with NATS pub/sub for multi-node clusters. RivetKit SDKs in TypeScript, Rust, and Python support built-in WebSocket connections, task queues, scheduling, and CRDT-based real-time collaboration. The v2.3 rewrite moved the core runtime from JavaScript to native Rust via WebAssembly, eliminating main-thread blocking across Node.js, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers. A built-in dashboard provides actor inspection with real-time Prometheus metrics. Deploys as a single Docker container on port 6420 with optional PostgreSQL for persistence. Available on RepoCloud with a dedicated VPS under the Apache 2.0 license.
Tau
Tau delivers a complete self-hosted cloud platform where Git is the control plane and WebAssembly is the runtime. The Go binary deploys as interconnected nodes that form a P2P network using libp2p for automatic service discovery, eliminating Kubernetes entirely. Serverless functions compile to WebAssembly for secure multi-tenant execution with automatic horizontal scaling — write in Go, Rust, AssemblyScript, or C and deploy by pushing to Git. Branch-based environments map Git branches to isolated deployments, so staging and production run identical infrastructure from different refs. Static website hosting serves frontends with global distribution and automatic content-addressed deduplication via IPFS-derived storage. The built-in K/V database provides distributed storage with automatic replication across nodes, while object storage handles file management with content addressing. Pub/Sub messaging enables real-time communication between functions and external services including WebSocket support. Spore Drive automates multi-host deployment and rolling updates from a single command across bare metal or VMs running Ubuntu. The Dream CLI provides a complete local development environment that mirrors production exactly — same services, same routing, same deployment flow. Zero-configuration HTTPS provisions TLS certificates automatically for custom domains. The web console at console.taubyte.com provides visual project management, or use the tau CLI for Git-native workflows. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSD-3-Clause licensed.
