Apex vs FaaS: What are the differences?

Developers describe Apex as "Serverless Architecture with AWS Lambda". Apex is a small tool for deploying and managing AWS Lambda functions. With shims for languages not yet supported by Lambda, you can use Golang out of the box. On the other hand, FaaS is detailed as "Functions as a Service (on Docker Swarm)". FaaS is a platform for building serverless functions on Docker Swarm Mode with first class metrics. Any UNIX process can be packaged as a function in FaaS enabling you to consume a range of web events without repetitive boiler-plate coding.

Apex and FaaS belong to "Serverless / Task Processing" category of the tech stack.

Apex and FaaS are both open source tools. FaaS with 14.8K GitHub stars and 1.17K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Apex with 7.84K GitHub stars and 568 GitHub forks.
