Introducing Browserbase Functions

Browserbase has introduced Browserbase Functions to streamline browser automation by allowing users to deploy and run automation scripts, such as Stagehand or Playwright, directly within the Browserbase environment, eliminating the need for separate system maintenance. This integration simplifies operations for teams by reducing infrastructure complexity, lowering latency, and decreasing potential points of failure. Functions are specifically optimized for browser workloads, supporting real code execution, long-running tasks, and asynchronous invocation, with each function tied to a dedicated Browserbase session that returns structured results. Deployments are versioned to ensure safe testing without affecting production, and local development mirrors production behavior using real Browserbase sessions. Currently available for TypeScript, this new feature allows existing users to integrate current automations into Functions and offers newcomers a unified platform for both browser operations and code execution. For those interested in a deeper understanding, a comprehensive technical deep dive into the engineering behind Browserbase Functions is also available.
