Serverless

Serverless, Inc. builds the Serverless Framework, the original and most widely adopted open-source tool for building, deploying and operating serverless applications on AWS Lambda and other managed cloud services. It pairs a YAML-configured, multi-language command-line interface with a Dashboard for monitoring and CI/CD, a large plugin ecosystem, and an MCP server that gives AI assistants access to infrastructure metrics, configuration and logs across Serverless Framework, AWS CloudFormation and SAM stacks. The company is based in San Francisco and backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Trinity Ventures.

Serverless is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Serverless, Infrastructure as Code, Developer Tools, and AWS Lambda.

Serverless’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 18 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/serverless: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
