How to check for price drops with Functions, Cron and LLMs (openfaas.com)

Hi, I'm the founder of OpenFaaS

This is a blog post about the MIT licensed version of OpenFaaS ideal for automation/marketing tasks and temporary or short-lived workflows.

> Learn how Alex bought a set of premium chisels by monitoring the price using HTML scraping and a cron job with OpenFaaS. You can apply the same technique for things you'd like to buy or monitor.

I also compare an LLM vs web scraping, and talk about other real-world use-cases for this kind of approach that we use, and that we've seen other users running in production.

Hope you find it interesting/useful.
