Stackpath’s dominant reign in the CDN space allowed space to expand their activity to the FaaS space.
Stackpath’s Sanbox environment to test functions works very fast and requires no registration, domain name or anything for that matter.
Having acquired at least 5 sizable companies in the last few years, it was only a waiting game before they announced to run serverless on their backbone-powered super fast infrastructure.
Having their own Backbone, Stackpath will be able to deliver on their promise to deliver at the microsecond.
