 ### Classic vs of-watchdog templates
 
 The current version of OpenFaaS templates use the original `watchdog` which `forks` processes - a bit like CGI. The newer watchdog [of-watchdog](https://github.com/openfaas/of-watchdog) is more similar to fastCGI/HTTP and should be used for any benchmarking or performance testing along with one of the newer templates. Contact the project for more information.
