Overview

The Serverless UI is a tool that allows users to deploy their own user interface, regardless of the framework or library they're using. It supports static file compilations and automatically converts functions into endpoints. With Serverless UI, users can continuously integrate and test their application through deploy previews, configure custom domains, and write serverless functions in either JavaScript or TypeScript. It offers the benefits and security of a hosted AWS application without relying on third-party services.

Features

Bring your own UI: Supports React, Vue, Svelte, or JQuery as long as they compile down to static files.
Serverless Functions: Converts functions into endpoints, deploying them as Node.js lambdas behind a CDN and API Gateway for optimal performance and scalability.
Deploy Previews: Automatically deploys each iteration of the application with a separate URL for continuous integration and testing.
Custom Domains: Quickly configure a custom domain to take advantage of production deploys.
TypeScript Support: Write serverless functions in either JavaScript or TypeScript.
Own your code: Skip third-party services and enjoy the benefits and security of a hosted AWS application without intermediaries. Easily deploy to a new or existing AWS account in just five minutes.
