Choosing the Best Managed FaaS Provider

The big three

Which cloud service provider offers the best managed FaaS solution? Is it Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud?

Note: We’ll exclude on-prem solutions. Similarly, we don’t cover all compute providers, but only the “big three.”

There are quite a few criteria we could use to compare FaaS services. Many will depend on the use cases, experience, needs, and so on and so forth.

Let’s start with the supported languages.

Note: The number of supported languages may have increased since this course was written (July 2020).

Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions, and AWS Lamda services support the languages that follow.
