How is this different and better from using something like lambda or serverless functions that the major clouds already provide? (which support many languages too)

Maybe open sourcing would help, but as you say, the space is crowded. Why would I want to add an extra external dependency to my vendor list just for serverless JS?

Iterating on your docs to make this clear in the first 15-30s will help.

Open sourcing and providing self hosting options for developers also helps

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

The main difference is that codehooks.io embeds a document database, a key-value store, a job scheduler and a worker queue without any config/setup. We want it to be easy to create a complete backend using codehooks.io in the shortest possible time.

Another difference is the speed and simplicity of deployment. Deployment typically takes 1 second or less. This increases developer productivity.

Our goal is that the developer can focus 100% on the application logic and 0% on the setup.

We have considered open sourcing it and we might do that at a later stage.
