Serverless raises $3M

By TechTaffy Desk

The company behind the Serverless Framework, Serverless, has secured $3 million in seed funding led by Trinity Ventures. Serverless Framework V1.0 is now out of beta, says the company.

The framework enables businesses to build web, mobile and IoT applications comprised of cloud services that scale automatically, says Serverless. It leverages event-driven compute services, like Amazon Web Services’ Lambda, to deploy applications that can scale, and bill their owner only when they run. The beta has racked up more than 11,000 GitHub stars in one year, according to the company.
