Summary

As a primarily JavaScript/Node developer, Moriel Schottlender was curious about serverless applications and Jamstack, but wasn't convinced that her dynamic tools fit the use case. However, she explored further and discovered the benefits of serverless architecture, including encapsulation of business logic, reduced overhead in managing servers, and simplified architecture. She eventually decided to migrate her tools to Netlify's serverless architecture, which eliminated most extra overhead from her tool development workflow, allowed her to focus on features and behavior rather than environment and external services, and enabled her to buy random domains for one-off tools without worrying about hosting maintenance. The migration was seamless, and Moriel plans to migrate all her tools to serverless applications on Netlify in the future.
