Scalable, and fully featured
We love serverless at Tufa
For anything compute-heavy that doesn’t fit in the frontend — like media processing tasks. It just handles it.
We deploy custom infra with AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda to enable durable, asynchronous workflows. This enables us to fan out over multiple long running requests and deliver powerful AI experiences quickly to our users, without blocking the UI, enabling partial data delivery when ready, and automatic retry management.
AWS Lambda really ties everything together! It has come a long way and feels very mature compared to other cloud providers’ serverless offerings. We’re running a mix of Python 3 and Node.js Lambdas, and they’ve been consistently super fast, reliable, and scalable for building web services.
There’s something satisfying about watching a huge animation render in the cloud and land back in seconds. AWS made scaling less scary — though we still had a few late-night battles with Lambda timeouts and Payload sizes 😅.

AWS Lambda is the engine of Ping-Signal. I considered a traditional server setup with something like a DigitalOcean Droplet, but Serverless won instantly. It allows me to focus purely on business logic, not server patching. The pay-per-use model means I can offer a generous free plan, and it scales infinitely, ensuring no ping is ever missed, whether I have 10 users or 10,000.
AWS Lambda powers our serverless backend for video generation, handling thousands of concurrent tasks without any server management. It gave us the scalability and cost-efficiency we needed to launch fast and grow smoothly.
We use AWS Lambda to render PDF invoices at scale, on demand and without over-provisioning. Serverless rendering means we stay lean and efficient, even when usage spikes. It just works <3
Serverless functions let us power Orbit AI’s smart reminders, real-time message insights, and meeting transcript parsing—all without managing a single server. Lambda helped us focus on building features instead of infrastructure.
We use Lambda for backend tasks that don’t need to run all the time. It keeps our infrastructure lean, cost-efficient, and scalable without maintaining servers.
We use AWS Lambda to run our subtitle processing workflows in parallel. It keeps things scalable, serverless, and cost-efficient — perfect for handling spikes in user uploads.
AWS Lambda – An event-driven, serverless computing platform 💡 Why we love AWS Lambda: For PickyEaters.io, serverless is a game-changer. AWS Lambda lets us run meal plan generation on demand, keeping infrastructure costs low while scaling automatically. No need to manage servers—just deploy functions and let AWS handle the rest! 🚀
👉 Compared to alternatives: The tight integration with AWS services (S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway) makes it easy to build an efficient, event-driven backend.
