We at ReadMe recently launched Build (https://readme.build), a tool for deploying and sharing API's! It uses serverless under the hood, which makes it fast and easy to spin up your tasks in the cloud. Services can be consumed with code (Node, Ruby, Python), or via integrations with Slack, Google Sheets, etc. All you need is the one API key we provide to you.

We use it internally when fetching usage metrics, receiving notifications for new sign-ups, and to monitor page changes on our enterprise app (https://readme.io), and use these endpoints frequently from Slack channels.

We manage versioning, rate limiting, logging, documentation, and have offer private services and user management for teams.

Creating an API is as easy as:

  $ npm install api -g

  $ api init

  $ api deploy
AWS Lambda performs wonders. It's enabled us to make it as simple as humanly possible to create, deploy, and share functions. It requires little prior knowledge to start tinkering with, has a growing community to provide support, and handles smoothly in a production setting.

Serverless rules. I'd love to hear any feedback on our implementation of it! Give Build a try at http://readme.build, and feel free email your thoughts to achal[at]readme.io.
