I built a serverless platform for Indian devs — pay with UPI, no credit card ever

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I'm the founder of LiteLambda — and I want to share why I built this.

The problem I kept seeing:

Indian developers (including me) would get excited about automating something — a price tracker, an AI wrapper, a WhatsApp bot — and then just... stop. Not because of the code. Because of the credit card required to sign up for AWS or GCP.

UPI has 300M+ users in India. But every major cloud platform still gates you behind an international Visa/Mastercard. That felt broken to me.

So I built LiteLambda:

→ Deploy Python functions in under 2 minutes

→ Schedule with cron — from every minute to monthly

→ Pay with PhonePe, GPay, or any UPI app

→ Hosted in Mumbai for low latency on Indian APIs

→ Free tier — 100 invocations/day, forever

→ No Docker, no YAML, no AWS complexity

Who is it for?

Indian indie hackers, students, and solo devs who want to ship automations fast without managing infrastructure or dealing with international billing.

Would love your feedback on:

🔹 Is the pricing model (prepaid top-ups vs subscription) the right call?

🔹 What use cases would make you switch to LiteLambda?

🔹 What's missing that would make this a no-brainer for you?

Happy to answer everything. Let's talk! 🙏
