Fermyon Technologies, the serverless WebAssembly company, has added a SQL database service to Fermyon Cloud. Fermyon Cloud is a hosted serverless platform that can start up Fermyon Spin apps in less than a millisecond, caching and optimizing apps as it loads them, providing supersonic performance for each individual app.

Today developers using serverless offerings like AWS Lambda building full stack apps have to painstakingly procure, create, instantiate and manage their own SQL databases for any stateful serverless app. To eliminate this pain, Fermyon has added a hosted and fully integrated SQL backend service directly into Fermyon Cloud so when one serverless request stores data, any other request can instantly retrieve, update or delete that data. This solves one of the serverless developer’s first and most vexing problems: building stateful apps with stateless microservice architectures.

Fermyon will be showcasing this new capability currently in private beta this week at WeAreDevelopers World Congress.

Fermyon is also introducing custom domain names, enabling any Fermyon Cloud customer to bring their own domain to their hosted Fermyon Spin apps just as they would do with any other serverless offering. Combined with the database offering, this makes Fermyon Cloud a complete serverless platform.

“With a NoOps database, Fermyon continues to streamline the process of building and deploying serverless apps. Fermyon Cloud is now a completely functional serverless offering competing with the likes of Amazon Lambda, Netlify, Vercel and other serverless products while utilizing a powerful disruptive technology: WebAssembly. WebAssembly enables us to achieve sub-millisecond cold starts, sandboxed security and freedom from vendor lock-in to the serverless market while also delivering the key capabilities the serverless market expects,” said Matt Butcher, co-founder and CEO of Fermyon.
