Stdlib has just announced it latest funding round (which you can read on TechCrunch here And a lot has changed since it's developer preview launch Stealing some write-up from StrictlyVC The idea: delivering web services and APIs is complex problem, and plenty can go wrong between the birth of a business idea and the production implementation of a web service. StdLib is aiming to solve the problem by making it possible to deploy new updates that are uncoupled from a company's infrastructure. (This way, if things go awry with that new function or update, users and customers needn't know.) The company has plenty of competition. Still, investors must think it has a chance at fighting through a growing field of upstarts. StdLib first passed through the accelerator program AngelPad early last year; today, it's announcing another $2 million in fresh seed funding led by BlueYard Capital, a Berlin­-based venture firm that's focused largely on the democratization of software development. Other investors in the round include Joe Montana’s Liquid 2 Ventures; Aston Motes, who was Dropbox's first engineer; Michael Dabrowski, president of the biotechnology company Synthego; and the Nordic Makers Venture Group. Horwood says it wasn't easy, breaking into the Silicon Valley scene several years ago, where he first moved to work at Storefront, a company that rents out short-term commercial space.

Followed this since Beta. Wish much success.

Looks good! And congrats on raising money. So, is stdlib 1.0 entirely replacing Polybit from last year? @keithwhor @bentossell https://www.producthunt.com/post... (I mean the product, not the company).

This is absolutely amazing! Can I use it to create functions for Slack, or Jira for example?

This is great! I just made a quick text conversion function to convert any string into mocking spongebag format 😜 https://stdlib.com/chrishannah/s...

One, would love to thank Ben for hunting us today. :) Two, we're really excited to launch StdLib out of developer preview. We recently overhauled our entire FaaS platform + Library to use the open specification we developed, FaaSlang - https://github.com/faaslang/faas... - which makes turning functions into scalable, serverless API endpoints a breeze and extremely intuitive. It's been a wild journey to get here and we're very thankful for the support of our developer community, friends, and of course, investors. Together, they've provided us the moral support to fight through tough times and believe in ourselves and what we're capable of, as well as pushing for a better future in the world of software development. So thank you, everybody who has joined us so far (and thanks for the ones to come)!

Thanks @bentossell for hunting us! We're excited to enter the next phase of our journey to better the way APIs are built, scaled, and shared. Keith and I are extremely thankful to the entire StdLib community -- developers, investors, and advisors -- for helping us get to this point! We couldn't have done this without you all. We're looking forward to the chance to grow our community further by creating more awesome, value-adding features and content over the next few months, so stay tuned :)

It looks really interesting and the list of available services is really impressive! Looking forward to see the how high it can get! (before getting acquired by AWS obviously ;) ) Fingers crossed!
