I'm pretty excited about this - I'm an IBMer and I was secretly hoping for us to get an alternative to AWS Lambda.

Plus, since it's Docker based and Open Source, you're existing knowledge should transfer pretty easily and you aren't locked into IBM/Bluemix to use it.

Yes, it's pretty cool. I know a lot of people are skeptical about IBM and open source, but there really is a lot of cool stuff happening. I hope people give it a chance, or at least take it out for a test drive.
