JS Foundation projects, architect and Marko, unite to give developers the easiest path to serverless applications
SAN FRANCISCO – December 6, 2017 – The benefits of serverless applications like modularity, ease of upgrade, cost reductions, etc., are becoming well known in the cloud development space. What is much harder to grasp for many is how to get started when building a serverless application from the ground up. Between navigating the maze of cloud platform dashboards, to configuring DNS, to just laying out the user interface for the application, there are many moving parts that a developer must learn to use in harmony to take advantage of those benefits. The JS Foundation is solving that issue for the largest programming community, JavaScript developers.
Two JS Foundation projects have teamed up to deliver a set of tools that work seamlessly together to allow JavaScript developers to provision and deploy serverless applications with beautiful, performant user interfaces. First, architect provides the ability to provision and deploy serverless cloud infrastructure with a simple plain text manifest file allowing you to create functions, routes, DNS, static assets, databases and more. Second, Marko, the simple to use, fast, UI library originally created by the team at eBay to power ebay.com, gives JavaScript developers the powerful, component-based development model they’ve grown accustomed to with the performance and stability necessary to be trusted by high-traffic websites. These two projects are announcing new integrations and an ongoing collaborative effort that will bring JavaScript developers to the serverless world in droves.
