Serverless Elastic Compute with Salesforce Functions!

A Salesforce Function is a single purpose, short-lived executable that’s invoked on demand.

ESXX Features in Lightning Web Components

Some weeks ago I decided to talk about modern JavaScript features that you can use in LWC. Usually there’s a lot of confusion around this topic, as people believe that only certain JavaScript features, from versions < ES9 can be used in LWC. But this is not true!
