So what are the benefits of this over existing serverless solutions like Google Cloud Functions and AWS Lambda?
You can think of it as Heroku vs AWS EC2. Most notably, we take care of packaging and deploying python dependencies, set up the needed web endpoints and automatically map HTTP requests to the function's arguments. And great logs for debugging - we got that covered too.
There is nothing you couldn't do with AWS Lambda and an intricate set up; we're just aiming for a much better dev experience.
