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.
