We run on top of AWS Lambda - if you choose. Lambda is great but there's still a TON of scaffolding and boilerplate to get your APIs up and running including: model mappings, routing, point to point connection to either HTTP based proxies or Lambda functions. We simplify all of that utilizing the Serverless Framework running LoopBackJS models.

If you're not on Lambda or don't want it - the model logic can be run within our optimized container based runtime built on Kubernetes. Everything is transparent either way built on open source. Where you run it is your choice.
