About Begin

Begin deploys serverless applications with minimal configuration. Push code, and Begin handles the AWS infrastructure—Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3—without CloudFormation templates. The developer experience prioritizes speed and simplicity. Local development mirrors production. Deployments are fast because the platform knows your application structure. Developers who want serverless benefits without AWS complexity use Begin to ship faster without becoming infrastructure experts.
