Hi, I made webcode.run because I was fed up with how slow Cloud development is. I fell in love with Observable reactive literate programming notebooks on the web, and thought, "I wish there was this but for the backend". Well, it's taken me a year to get to this point. WEBCode.run is a serverless environment for Observable notebooks. It's been built carefully to preserve the amazing reactive workflows Observable has. It takes the best of Observable and combines it with serverless. So now you can create complete, end-to-end digital services entirely self documented inside a single web based notebook, with one click forking. There are no tools to install! It makes maintaining hundreds of micro projects easy. It helps the individual scale as they no longer need to juggle local dependencies or IDE plugins, and documentation is included with the project code. WEBCode.run's serverless endpoints deploy *instantly*, and can achieve latency as low as 30ms, and at no point do you need to install a CLI or webpack or a compiler to use them. WEBCode.run endpoints can be intercepted live, so you can attach a debugger. WEBCode.run is not about making programming simple for beginners, it's about getting an innovation led professional workflow setup as fast as possible so that real professional coding get started immediately. Some examples of complex software hosted by webcode.run include - An OAUTH 2 server: https://observablehq.com/@endpoi... - A wire compatible Firebase Realtime Server: https://observablehq.com/@tomlar... Our long term vision is to make serverless development so frictionless that it feels natural. This is step 1. I hope you are as excited as I am at being able to reduce the complexity of creating, maintaining and operating software projects.

Some feedback I get is that people don't want to program low level services. I agree! Longer term webcode.run will make it easy to distribute full working infrastructure, as the notebooks are one-click forkable. But we don't currently have these templates done. So short term, yes, WEBCode.run is low level and technical, but we will start climbing the ladder of abstraction soon. I created a webcode.run focussed newsletter, so if you think you need to wait until the higher level templates are out then subscribe here: https://webcode.substack.com
