1) Apache OpenWhisk is an open source serverless computing platform that allows executing code in response to events from web/mobile apps without provisioning servers or resources. 2) OpenWhisk uses a programming model where services define triggers as events emitted, developers associate actions to handle the events via rules, and the system handles executing the code. 3) A demo was presented exploring OpenWhisk through IBM Cloud Functions, a hosted service on IBM Bluemix that allows running functions in response to various events from databases, object storage, and other triggers.
