Looked at the homepage. Looked at the docs (only way to find out more about WTF I'm looking at, without signing up?).
Doesn't... look meaningfully different from AWS lambdas or CF workers or other things along those lines. Just with way fewer features. What am I missing?
- the_reformation 3y agoThere are similar tools to this but this is nothing like Lambda or CF Workers. Lambda doesn't do anything remotely close to generating frontend UX for a script.
- yamtaddle 3y agoAh. I wasn't able to figure that out from the homepage, the first docs page, or the "getting started" link in the docs. Homepage has nothing, and the first two docs pages I looked at made it seem like some MVP lambda-alike.
- lredd 3y agoThanks for this feedback! We know our website is pretty barebones right now, but working on putting more info there. We'll also work on making this clearer on our docs!
- lredd 3y agoThe main difference is that Onu generates a frontend UI for your scripts! This means that the non-technical folks on your team have access to the scripts that typically only engineers can run. In our experience, non-technical teams typically don't know how to use AWS lambdas or CF works
- shrimpx 3y agoLooks like you define a form declaratively, and write the handler function, and the platform generates a UI from your form description and calls your handler when the user submits the form. Super similar to how airplane.dev got started.
