# Binaris

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/binaris/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Binaris was a fast, low-latency Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform for running production Node.js workloads in the cloud. Founded in 2017 and backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, its developer surface centered on the `bn` command-line tool and Node.js SDK (published to npm as `binaris` and to Docker Hub as `binaris/bn`), which let developers scaffold, deploy, invoke, and inspect serverless functions in seconds. Authentication was via a Binaris API key (`BINARIS_API_KEY`). The company later explored a "Shift" programming model (`@binaris/shift-fetch-runtime`). The hosted platform at binaris.io / binaris.com is no longer in service, but the first-party client packages and a 42-repository GitHub organization remain publicly available and are captured here.
