If you need to build an API quickly we just launched https://code.xyz on Thursday. No server provisioning, no routing, nada, just write a JavaScript function, hit deploy, and you have a scalable "serverless" backend. You can deliver any type of content. (We have command line tools available as well, if the web environment doesn't suit all your needs.)

Our company is called StdLib, we're focused on making API development, deployment and management effortless - we're backed by both Slack and Stripe [1].

Wow, really neat. I guess you're working on top of AWS lambda or something? If so, how do you get around the 75 gig code size limit? Just "That will be a good problem to have when we have all those customers"?


That's pretty cool! Literally took me 10 seconds to sign up and deploy the sample function.


Thanks! That's what we've optimized for. :) Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if you have any questions.
