One and true serverless framework alternative today

The most useful feature is that it supports multiple protocols, including WebSocket (which was not supported by previous versions). I like how easy you can add new features to this service provider using custom modules or plugins available from their GitHub repository - even if they are third-party services! It's great for building RESTful APIs with authentication support out of box as well as running microservices over different ports/protocols without having any external dependencies such us

Pros
  • It's a great platform for building RESTful APIs with authentication support out of box and it's also a great solution for running microservices over different ports/protocols without having any additional dependencies such as nginx proxy servers etc
Cons
  • It's a great platform for building RESTful APIs with authentication support out of box and it's also a great solution for running microservices over different ports/protocols without

Best web server framework ever and still improving every day

The simplicity of developing your app with cowboy, not having to worry about all kinds different frameworks or servers made it easy for me as an inexperienced developer! It's also very fast compared other solutions I've used (eg nginx). There are no downsides at this time that we know so far - but if you have any issues please let us now because our team is always open to improve what they're doing :) As mentioned above there can be some performance hit when using large modules/apps since…

Pros
  • Great documentation available online.
