[Feature Request]: a generic faas runner #24548

What would you like to happen?

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible for beam to support running on a generic faas system(openwhisk for example). Definitely there are other components needed for beam such as MQ. Is it possible to define a generic interface that a faas system need to implement in order to run beam on top of it?

Thanks

I'm sure you could implement a Beam runner using FaaS. It could be a fun project if you want to try it!
