Napa.js: A multi-threaded JavaScript runtime

Time limits on serverless functions are 9 minutes on GCE and even less on AWS, so for long-running stateful tasks they're probably not suitable, unless you can divide the work into serial as well as parallel subsets.

Thanks for the reply. The task is not stateful. It's just pulling data from a db, performing some transforms, and then pushing it into elasticsearch. I suppose that I could slice the tasks up to be arbitrarily small though having a longer window would be helpful. I guess I will take a look at GCE. Thank you!

FWIW I think Azure's Functions are 10 minutes and I hear they're talking about upping it again.
