Many serverless function providers offer high-speed services. As talked about in the background, edge computing has revolutionized serverless functions. Because serverless functions are stateless, they do not need to always run in the same place. This means they can work like CDNs and automatically deliver content from data centers close to users (the "edge") rather than one centralized location. Serving from the edge can be a huge difference in latency for large networks like Cloudflare's. Not all serverless function providers support this, but a growing number do, like Netlify, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, AWS Lambda@Edge, and more.
However, that is not the end of the story. Since then, many services have improved on AWS Lambda's model in ways like ease of use and performance. The first notable FaaS provider was Vercel (ZEIT Now at the time), which was released in April of 2016 and was a lot simpler to use than Lambda. Another selling point was that it integrated well with Next.js, a React framework made by Vercel. Other, newer services also try to be a lot easier, like Begin, although Vercel is still the most popular in that group.

The first Function as a Service (FaaS) provider to truly catch on was AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda was a serverless function service that Amazon released in November 2014. Lambda allows for functions written in many different languages to automatically scale in under a second while allowing users not to have to worry about the underlying hardware. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Oracle also created their own service for serverless functions. Although to this day, Lambda is the most popular serverless function provider, and since its release, it has become faster, more flexible, and easier to use.
