Val Town Has a Free API: Deploy Serverless TypeScript Functions in Seconds

Val Town is a social platform for writing and deploying serverless TypeScript functions — each function gets an instant HTTP endpoint, cron schedule, or email handler with zero configuration. Why Val Town Matters Deploying a simple API endpoint shouldn't require Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, or even a GitHub repo. Val Town gives every function its own URL the moment you save it. What you get for free: Instant HTTP endpoints for any TypeScript function Built-in cron scheduling (run functions on a schedule) Email handling (receive and send emails from functions) SQLite database (persistent storage per account) Import any npm package — no package.json needed Version history and forking (like GitHub for functions) Free tier: 5,000 runs/day Quick Start: HTTP Endpoint // This gets an instant URL: https://username-functionname.web.val.run export default async function ( req : Request ): Promise < Response > { const url = new URL ( req . url ); const name = url . searchParams . get ( " name " ) |
