描述

Should we support long-running batch-jobs?

Are these in the scope of OpenFaaS functions which are typically several seconds in duration?

Are there primitives in Kubernetes such as jobs which we can leverage?

Edit 29 Sept 2019

Since long-running jobs and workflows are related, I've added that to the title, so if you're looking for workflow, please feel free to comment with your use-case and whether it's for business purposes or for fun.
