Stop accepting “that’s not supported” from SaaS platforms. Functions let you add custom business logic between any services, solving integration challenges that were previously impossible or cost $50K+ to build. Turn platform limitations into competitive advantages.

Solve Integration Challenges

Add custom logic between any services. Transform data, apply business rules, coordinate multiple systems that don’t talk to each other.

$100s Instead of $50K+

Build custom integrations for the cost of coffee, not enterprise consulting projects. Deploy instantly, scale automatically.

Real-World Examples

See how businesses use functions to solve everyday problems:

Problem: Handle customer orders, process payments, manage inventory

Order Processing Function
export const handler = async (event) => {
  const { items, customerId, paymentMethod } = JSON.parse(event.body);
  
  // Validate inventory
  const available = await checkInventory(items);
  if (!available) {
    return { statusCode: 409, body: 'Items out of stock' };
  }
  
  // Process payment
  const payment = await processPayment(paymentMethod);
  
  // Create order
  const order = await createOrder({ items, customerId, payment });
  
  // Send confirmation
  await sendOrderConfirmation(order);
  
  return {
    statusCode: 201,
    body: JSON.stringify({ orderId: order.id, total: order.total })
  };
};

What it handles:

  • ✅ Inventory validation
  • ✅ Secure payment processing
  • ✅ Order creation and tracking
  • ✅ Customer notifications

Three Types of Functions

Choose the right function type for your use case:

Why Developers Choose Functions

Instant Deployment

Write code, hit deploy. Your function is live and handling requests in seconds, not hours.

Automatic Scaling

Handle one request or one million. Functions scale automatically based on demand.

No Infrastructure

Skip the DevOps complexity. No servers, containers, or Kubernetes to manage.

Pay Per Use

Only pay when your functions run. No idle server costs or infrastructure overhead.

Built-in Security

Authentication, encryption, and security headers included. Focus on features, not security.

Real-time Monitoring

See function performance, errors, and usage in real-time. Debug issues instantly.

Common Use Cases

Best Practices for Success

Keep Functions Small

Do one thing well

Each function should have a single responsibility. This makes them easier to test, debug, and maintain.

Handle Errors Gracefully

Always plan for failure

Use try-catch blocks, return meaningful error messages, and implement proper HTTP status codes.

Use Environment Variables

Keep secrets secure

Never hardcode API keys or passwords. Use environment variables for configuration and secrets.

Monitor and Log

Know what’s happening

Add logging for debugging and monitoring for performance. Track errors and usage patterns.

Optimize Performance

Keep it fast

Minimize cold starts, cache when possible, and use efficient algorithms and data structures.

Test Thoroughly

Prevent issues early

Write unit tests, integration tests, and use local development tools to catch issues before deployment.
