Bluemix is built on 4
key open compute
technologies:
OpenWhisk, Cloud
Foundry, Docker, and
OpenStack, and
delivered by 3
deployment options:
Public, Dedicated and
Local.
It extends each of
these with a growing
number of services,

an action is not invoked, it’s not in memory, so you

API Gateway
support
Allows to map API endpoints to
OpenWhisk actions. 
API Gateway takes care of security,
control (e.g. rate limiting), mediation,
parameter mapping, schema
validation & supports different verbs
GA Now

Gives you full control over HTTP
request/response from within an
action
New
Web actions
Serverless microservice APIs/backend
What is OpenWhisk good for?
Another way to invoke an action is via
our newest web action capabilities.
Those OpenWhisk actions quickly
enable you to build web based
applications. Allowing backend logic
which your web application can
access anonymously without requiring
an OpenWhisk authentication key. It is
up to the action developer to
hello

a server less application into a single
project and deploy it in a vendor-
agnostic way.

IBM Bluemix OpenWhiskOpenWhisk & Containers
Basically, OpenWhisk is based on
Docker… but we added some
smartness to meet our performance
goals…
Behind the scenes:
It’s about containers

This ecosystem allows you… 
… to run short running scalable functions in a serverless fashion and 
… longer running processes on a containerized infrastructure also forming the basis for the said serverless platform

IBM Bluemix OpenWhiskWhat is serverless good for?
Volatile workload that can
be split in smaller short-
running pieces.
Suited for sporadic as well
as heavy load scenarios.
