I’ve built several small Nostr services that only need to run for a few seconds a day when triggered by specific events. Yet, I have to maintain 24/7 daemons for each just to subscribe to relays.
Imagine a single service managing all relay subscriptions and invoking other services as short-lived lambdas/functions based on filters in a config file. The trigger event, past events, and a cached state could be passed as arguments.
A simple CLI could make creating and deploying new projects easy. Would building a ‘serverless’ platform for Nostr apps make sense?
