Why did you link to the ideas page?! There are 839 words on it and I have no idea what your product is or does.
After looking at the docs[1] and front-page, you're a serverless lambda/functions/zeit with all the normal limitations, but a pretty decent tech-specs for the free and paid tier.
What makes you different? I really like the lack of vendor lock-in, but you need some more killer features to stand out.

- 013a 6y agoDid you not make it to the bottom, which includes a very specific and useful definition of the services they offer?
- tonyhb 6y agoNo, because it started explaining why computers are good and I didn't need a recap.
- abdelhai 6y agoWell, it got your attention so it kinda works :) We see Lambda as a building block. For creating web apps you need more than a runtime, in most cases you need a DB, login and permissions, UI, etc. For small ideas/tools (our target use cases) we offer you most of what you need with as little config as possible (ideally none) – things just work. For example in your Deta Micro, you can just import our Database (Deta base) and store data and it just works, no config required. Soon we will launch Deta Drive, then email, then cron... you get the idea. We also have permissions built-in, so you can give your colleagues a run-only access. We also focus more on the developer experience more than others, devs should feel as a first class citizen in the cloud. We think this will free them to be more creative. We have lots of other features that we will announce soon: real-time debugging, online editing, etc. I hope that was helpful.
