apache-airflow-providers-openfaas

What it is and what it does

This is an Apache Airflow provider package that adds OpenFaaS integration to Airflow workflows. It allows you to define and execute OpenFaaS serverless functions as tasks within your Airflow DAGs, bridging the gap between Airflow's orchestration capabilities and OpenFaaS's function-as-a-service runtime.

The package is maintained as part of the official Apache Airflow ecosystem and depends on apache-airflow and apache-airflow-providers-common-compat. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is classified as Production/Stable. Installation is straightforward via pip on top of an existing Airflow setup.

Use it for:

• Invoke OpenFaaS functions as part of a larger Airflow orchestration pipeline.
• Trigger serverless workloads from Airflow DAGs for event-driven or on-demand processing.
• Integrate OpenFaaS-deployed microservices into scheduled Airflow workflows.
• Build hybrid workflows combining Airflow's scheduling with OpenFaaS's function execution.
