AWS and other managed FaaS offerings allow you to go from zero to endpoint in minutes.

You can choose to deploy your own open source Faas framework (like openwhisk or open-faas) on one of these clouds, but YOU will have to:

1. Manage scaling of underling EC2s

2. Manage security patching of both the docker and underlying OS

3. Setup whole lot of configs

4 manage optimizations

With a managed FaaS you're trading ops for more dev time, but someone has to be paid for the ops - it isn't free
