Nhost Functions are server-side JavaScript or TypeScript functions that are a great option for handling things like Event Triggers for async workflows, as well as to integrate with external service providers like Stripe or Slack.
For more sophisticated use-cases and control over the runtime, use Nhost Run.

​
Hello World

./functions/hello-world.js
export default (req, res) => {
  res.status(200).send(`Hello World!`)
}
Deploying functions is as easy as pushing your code!
