I've been learning how to use (knative) and was just wondering what the market leaders in the FaaS space are doing on the backend.
What stack do services like Netlify and Vercel use to implement their FaaS?

#2(I work at Vercel) We are primarily built on AWS hardware and our own software.
For example, a custom CDN/proxy¹, build infrastructure², compute³, WAF⁴, etc. – and then take advantage of AWS' network/fiber (like AGA⁵) and their hardware.

Great : from your literature, Vercel's FaaS is basically AWS Lambda with plumbing.
Since Netlify appears to be a smaller player (40% of your revenue) and since they similarly don't talk about their stack much, I'm going to presume that they're doing the same thing hehe
