Skip the pain of greenfield serverless development

Serverless platforms offer huge advantages for product teams and organizations:

low cost
highly scalable
faster time to market
simpler architectures
easier to secure

For all the advantages, serverless demands a new perspective on application development and comes with a steep learning curve.

Based on our experience consulting on serverless architectures, the cost of ramping-up and bootstrapping a new application can be hundreds of developer hours. Skip the learning curve, toy examples, and awkward documentation and use Expresslane to get to market faster.
