Lolo Code is an iFaaS platform that allows you to build serverless event-driven Node.js apps in a visual cloud editor without having to provision and manage any servers.
Create unlimited apps. Have two running concurrently in free-tier.
June 2022
After years of development and over a year of running large scale production workloads for enterprise customers we can now offer individuals a very generous free-tier that competes with FaaS providers.
From the start we've been collecting video tutorials from our users in private beta to use as inspiration for different workflows.

Lolo was built in response to some of the shortcomings of certain serverless computing platforms, i.e. Lambda, Azure Functions (i.e. FaaS providers). The apps are event-driven, just like the FaaS concept of triggering a function when an event happens. However, what is unique, is our ability to chain several functions and triggers within the application. This simplifies building serverless applications, especially for beginners. We take care of the work behind the scenes so you don’t have to think about provisioning, scaling nor managing any servers.
Your container is technically always live. Ideal for WebSockets.
Run production apps at cloud scale by adding replicas.
We are not tied to a specific cloud vendor.
Easier to maintain. Use composition for complexity.
Built in state store. Access the entire NPM library.
Run your apps with one-click deploy.
We're not backed by the bigger giants.
Predictable pricing models that compete with FaaS
We think we compete with our awesome cloud editor which lets you build highly maintainable apps in a visual environment. But alas, we understand that pricing is important. With Lolo you are not paying per invocation as you would with FaaS, you pay for the amount of traffic you need to process every second. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are paying more than you would if you paid per invocation. With Lolo, you are still in free tier until you need to process more than a few thousand events per second with your application. Do you think your API or Websocket will have more than thousand of invocations per second? Most Serverless applications never go beyond this and if they do then it is rare that an application only need to process a huge amount of events for a few seconds every month (ideal for FaaS). However, if your Lolo app needs to be able to process more than a few thousand of events per second, as most of our enterprise clients naturally do, you simply add replicas for €9 each.
