🌟 Serverless Functions with Netlify: Add Cool Features to Your Front-End Apps Without Building a Server 🌟

Welcome to the Serverless Functions Course where front-end developers like you can unlock the power of dynamic, server-side logic without ever having to spin up or manage a server! 🚀

What are Serverless Functions?

You've likely faced this dilemma: your app needs new features that require server-side functionality. After countless hours of searching, it seems the only solution is to build and host your own server. But hold on! There's a revolution happening in the world of development, and it's called Serverless Functions.

Serverless Functions are a game-changer for developers, particularly for those focused on front-end development. Instead of managing servers yourself, you write the code for your desired functionality, and a cloud provider (like Netlify) handles the infrastructure. This approach offers unparalleled scalability, security, and cost savings - all without compromising on your preferred technology stack, which remains Javascript.
