Sorry I’m dense, but what is this? Is this like an Amazon lambda function tied to an API Gateway?

Essentially yes. It's an in browser editor that deploys your code as a public API endpoint as you type. It has the functionality of Lambda + API Gateway + Cloudwatch Logs with a lot of other utilities built in to expedite building small serverless functions

Does it really deploy code as I type? So the functions are mostly broken while I'm editing them?

The sandbox editor (napkin.io/sandbox) deploys as you type, but when you are signed in, changes are only deployed once you click "Deploy".
