https://webtask.io is another alternative. A lot easier to deploy and manage, but only runs Node.js/JS.

/disclaimer: Work at Auth0, Webtask is one of our products.

iron.io had a thing a while back; I've not checked in on them lately.

There's always "build a container farm and do it yourself," but that doesn't make sense until you've scaled significantly.

What's the point of "serverless" if you're going to run your own servers for it? (Honest question, no snark intended.)

OpenWhisk - an open source project (http://openwhisk.apache.org/) supported by IBM, Red Hat, and others. I've got quite a few blog posts on it if you want to see some examples (https://www.raymondcamden.com).
