Descriptions


Stackpath Serverless


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.


Digital Ocean Functions


Digital Ocean has earned users trust over the many years of service. Founded in 2011, and already traded publically on the New York Stock Exchange since 2021. Digital Ocean has a great blog with many useful articles, which is why they are so well known in the developer community.

Once the underdog, and now David turned Goliath, Digital Ocean offers it all and has truly grown into a major market player when it comes to cloud infrastructure on a global scale.

Digital Ocean Functions offers seamless database integration and offers support for a couple of unique features like unit testing for your Functions. Interestingly Digital Ocean is one of the first Functions providers who are verbal on which version of prograamming language they support. Some programming languages like Python are backward incompatible. DO’s Functions supports Python 3.
