Auth0 Webtasks is a platform for easily creating a serverless HTTP Endpoint / Webhook. Auth0 Webtasks executes node.js code in a secure and safe manner. There's no servers to deploy, no tools you have to install, just code.

• Every webtask is an HTTP endpoint
• Simple Node.js programming model
• High fidelity of HTTP, webtasks can even return HTML
• Full access to node modules available on npmjs.com
• Rich browser based editing experience
• Middleware
• Multi-tenant

How does it differ from other Serverless offerings?

• Specialized for Node.js
• Low configuration
• Highly customizable
• Extremely low latency
• Designed from scratch for web-based / user interactions rather than plumbing between backend services.
