Using Solvix with Serverless

This guide explains how to use Solvix in Serverless environments such as AWS Lambda, Vercel Functions, and Cloudflare Workers.

Why use Solvix in Serverless?​

Serverless environments require:

  • Fast execution
  • Minimal overhead
  • Efficient retries
  • Cold start optimization

Solvix is lightweight and optimized for such environments.

Basic Setup​

import { createClient } from "solvix";

const client = createClient({
  baseURL: "https://api.example.com",
  retry: { retries: 2 },
});

Example: AWS Lambda​

export const handler = async () => {
  const res = await client.get("/users");

  return {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify(res.data),
  };
};

Example: Vercel Function​

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const response = await client.get("/users");

  res.status(200).json(response.data);
}

Example: Cloudflare Workers​

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const res = await client.get("/users");

    return new Response(JSON.stringify(res.data));
  },
};

Handling Cold Starts​

Serverless functions may restart frequently.

Best practice:

  • Create client outside handler
const client = createClient({...});

export const handler = async () => {
  return client.get("/users");
};

Performance Tips​

  • Keep retries low
  • Avoid heavy middleware
  • Use caching where possible

Error Handling​

try {
  await client.get("/users");
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

Integration Benefits​

Solvix provides:

  • Retry handling
  • Circuit breaking
  • Rate limiting
  • Token refresh

All inside serverless environment.

Summary​

Solvix works efficiently in serverless environments by:

  • Minimizing overhead
  • Handling failures
  • Providing reliability
