The problem it solves

You've got custom backend logic that needs to run occasionally, but standing up and maintaining a server just for that job is overkill. Every time it needs to run, someone has to remember how to trigger it correctly. You want to kick it off and get your result back without any of the upkeep.

Who it fits

Businesses with a developer-built cloud function that needs to run on demand.

How it works

  1. You start the automation when the function needs to run
  2. It sends the request to your AWS Lambda function
  3. The function executes your custom logic in the cloud
  4. You receive the result back automatically
What you get

Custom backend logic ready the moment you call it

You can trigger your custom cloud logic on demand and get the result back automatically.

What you get

The output of your custom cloud function, returned automatically.

What you need

An AWS account with a Lambda function set up.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
