Hey! If you’re familiar with the term JAMstack, you can think of us as the “A” for API’s. A static site like a blog typically doesn’t need any backend-specific functions but anything that requires a server to run you could use Napkin for. Popular frontend hosting platforms like Netlify and Vercel also have serverless function add-ons that can be attached to your project.

Our goal is to be the “CodePen for backend” and our one-off functions can be used for more than just websites (think mobile apps, IOT devices, etc). We’re excited to build out examples and enable discovery very soon!

I didn’t know about Jamstack, but I find it a very interesting way of delivering an app. I will study the possibilities for sure!

Thank you very much.
