Serverless Platforms shortlist: Backend APIs
Narrow your serverless shortlist by the workload constraints that determine which platform fits. Cold start latency, execution duration limits, memory caps, and edge distribution all vary significantly across providers—and these differences matter more than pricing for most use cases. A background processing job has different requirements than a latency-sensitive API handler running at the edge. Use these filters to skip platforms that don't fit your workload before investing in implementation.
