Development

First, I made an account at PubNub.com and created a Function in my demo app. I selected the On Request type.

Then I did made my node.js-like serverless event handler API, with 3 routes.

Next, I made a web page to talk to the API.

I used this tool to minify the HTML+CSS+JS https://www.willpeavy.com/minifier/

Lastly I pased the code into the handler and clicked the start button.

The start button deploys this event handler to data centers around the world. Load-balancing and scaling are automatically handled for you.
