What pricing model do you prefer on TinyFunction (Serverless functions)?
Hi,
I am having difficulty in finding best pricing model for TinyFunction.com . I felt its better ask you.
- Unlimited in third option is based on your container limits
Hi,

Your container-limit point is exactly where this pricing decision gets tricky. I’m testing a narrow $299 one-time service for founders freezing pricing or plan structure: an evidence-backed read on three competitor pricing pages, separating FACT/INFERENCE/UNKNOWN, with a specific recommendation. Sample: https://95gk4grdkw-byte.github.io/rival-brief/sample/ — is this a decision you’re dealing with now, or would you still rather do the competitor work yourself?
@prakis are you deploying a lambda now for each function or are they containerized, or its code stored in a db and is executed by a cluster of workers? I worked on a similar project last year, but users where able to create workflows with ready-to-use functions. And I had a cluster of node workers running in containers doing the execution.
Currently function code is stored in db and executed by lambda workers, that is the reason it is very fast.
But I am implementing the first option now, where each function is independently deployed. I don't want to go with containers(on AWS) as they are taking alot of time to deploy.
I am interested to know more about your project, do you mind to share some details? my twitter id @prakis
Thank you.
Long story short, I was working with a few fintech and ecomm companies a few years ago as a contractor. They kept writing random scripts to move and transform large amounts of data around. Like ETL but with additional interchangeable scripts and logic between the E and L part. Many people on the team where not tech savvy so I decided to build a drag-drop interface for their scripts, so non-tech users can put together automations on their own.
But...
I was not able to make a product out if it. For these reasons:
So I dropped the project.
You tried alot of things, thats very interesting. Currently I think dedicated dockers is a overkill for my project, so I am just trying to use AWS in the background.
I made TinyFunction in early 2020, I recently posted it on ProductHunt and it made to the 3rd product of the day. Thats how I thought maybe there is real interest in such tools. I am still not sure if there is commercial interest in creating functions alone (Daily visitor count is slowly fading now ). In creating functions alone I don't see huge market, I am betting on additional features which will add great value to devs.
