Aleph.im is a distributed cloud platform that provides serverless trusted computing services, file storage, and database hosting to its users.

<div>Aleph.im offers a blockchain-enabled open-source platform for users to access off-chain data or computation for decentralized application (dApp) development purposes. The company also offers serverless access to computing power through its resource nodes that were launched in January 2022, to developers for them to create dApps. Additionally, the resource nodes (before this, Aleph.im’s virtual machine computing power was been driven by around 70 core channel nodes) also provide indexing, and storage capabilities.The platform is blockchain agnostic and provides data storage and business logic that runs on a decentralized network.  </div>

The innovative cost dynamics of serverless computing allow more customers onto the cloud without breaking the bank.

 Users can use a single ID, controlled from a single wallet, to read and write data to any of the supported chains which include Ethereum, Solana, Binance chain and Polkadot among others. Aleph.im has also announced plans to activate storage nodes some time in 2022, to make the network capable of both decentralized processing and storage. The company also partnered with Ubisoft, a game development company, to provide a decentralized storage system for NFTs on “Quartz”, Ubisoft’s videogame NFT platform. Aleph.im has also had strategic partnerships with Polygon, Request Network, and Neon Labs. 
 
 
 In January 2022, Aleph raised USD 10 million in funding led by Stratos Technologies

SLAppForge offers support for companies developing serverless apps on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud through its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) “Sigma.” Sigma is the first completely browser-based IDE and offers a drag-and-drop framework for intuitive coding. The platform was also the first IDE to offer live debugging of Lambda functions, and also provides support for live debugging on NodeJS and Python functions. Sri Lanka-based SLAppForge incorporated its US entity and brought on CEO Wallace Wilhoite (former IT Manager at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in January 2020.

Altostra offers a development platform that allows developers to create serverless apps with or without the use of coding, and deploy it through any cloud/serverless vendor. The company provides a visual workspace for app developers to make the process intuitive, and also offers a cross-platform command line tool.

 Triggermesh’s platform allows users to create serverless apps that integrate multiple cloud, data center, and on-premise software and environments, on top of Kubernetes. Through these integrations, the platform aims to break “silos” between enterprise customers and their software development and IT operations (DevOps) teams. The cloud and infrastructure integration development speed is reportedly enhanced by reusing connectors and customizable templates. 
 
 
 In March 2022, the platform announced broad support for KNative (an open-source platform to build and deploy serverless workloads) which includes any conformant Knative deployment, along with the provision of Knative distribution. TriggerMesh also announced broad support for creating event-driven architecture that runs on Kubernetes in Google Cloud, to enable users to create integrations to sync data or drive event-driven workloads. 
 Triggermesh went on to launch a service to enable enterprises using Kubeless migrate to Knative in May 2022.
 
 
 Funding and financials 
 
 
 The company raised USD 5 million in seed funding in July 2021, from Cisco, to invest in expanding its go-to-market strategy. Along with the funding, Triggermesh also noted that it would collaborate with Cisco to deliver improved enterprise automation solutions and cloud-native integrations, leveraging Cisco’s vast enterprise and cloud footprint.

Iron.io offers multiple tools to assist development operations (DevOps) to focus on core tasks, without managing infrastructure. The company entered the serverless computing market in 2016, with the launch of IronFunctions, effectively an open-source platform that can be used by developers and uses containers as the base. It allows users to launch serverless applications and functions on private and public clouds, on-premise servers, and hybrid environments. IronFunctions can be written in a variety of programming languages including Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, Node.js, Go, and .NET. However, the company currently only provides helper libraries and integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda.The company has expanded its operations since 2017 by adding an office in Tokyo, expanding its engineering and customer success teams, and continuing to improve the company’s products (bug fixes, improvements to internal tooling, and adding concurrency graphs, etc.). Iron.io looks to continue ramping up the development of its products by improving performance and reliability and developing a new user interface.Iron.io also continues to invest in new cutting-edge technologies such as “Computerless,” which eliminates the physical machine altogether and allows for it to be fully encapsulated in fiber optic cable.Key customers and partnershipsIts key customers include Google, Harry’s, Philips, Whole Foods, Veritone, and Counsyl.
