Serverless
Running code without managing a persistent server functions execute on demand and scale automatically. PURIST uses serverless functions (AWS Lambda) for lightweight, infrequent custom operations alongside n8n's workflow engine.
Expert insight
Serverless functions eliminate infrastructure management but introduce cold-start latency, the first invocation after a period of inactivity is noticeably slower than subsequent ones, a consideration for workflows where consistent, predictable latency matters more than infrequent invocation cost savings.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Serverless is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Architecture category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
