re: what it's about, if your’re curious re: computer 

@xenon as far as a developer is concerned it’s sort of like if they had github pages but for backend code in general instead of just static websites

what it's about, if your’re curious re: computer 

@xenon the idea is you hand somebody with large infrastructure your code, and they handle setting up the infrastructure for running that code on a completely on-demand basis; there is no VM/container/whatever even running your code until someone is actively trying to connect to it, and you are charged on a per-invocation basis

(more precisely you are uploading code that responds to events. so you could have something that responds to a basic connection, something else that responds on reads or writes to the database, and so on)

i do not need your recommendations to match her formal techniques or general aesthetic, though of course, i would be interested in seeing who else does that kind of thing
