There is also OpenFAAS - built on top of k3s

Heroku and Porter are more like a PaaS (Platform as a Service). Not sure FaaS can compare here. A PaaS could include a FaaS offering, but not the other way around.

Unless you can deploy something like Postgresql to a FaaS. If that's doable, I'd like to read more about it.

I have long pondered an answer to this question. There are some hacks for various DB mechanisms. But nothing truly on par. It's a business opportunity if anybody crack this!

You can't deploy Postgres to FaaS, however you can deploy open OpenFaaS on Caprover / Porter and then deploy octo-cli functions.

I do wonder if hosting dqlite inside of OpenFaaS would be possible as it's just distributed sqlite which is just a file...
