Part II. Advanced OpenWhisk Development

In this second part, you’ll take your OpenWhisk skills a little further. We’ll use two more programming languages to develop OpenWhisk actions: Python and Go. We’ll analyze how to create, deploy, and test OpenWhisk actions in Python, and create a simple CRUD application. Then we’ll do the same for Go actions, and to create a simple web chat application. We’ll also explore two important components of OpenWhisk applications: the NoSQL database CouchDB and the messaging queue Kafka. Finally, we complete the book by exploring how to install OpenWhisk in the cloud and on-premises using Kubernetes.
