[ORBS LAMBDA]
Orbs Lambda - Decentralized Serverless Cloud Function
Event driven, serverless and decentralized computing solution, similar in concept to AWS Lambda - but decentralized.
Write your cloud function in regular JavaScript, without any blockchain specific knowledge. Code can utilize familiar node.js libraries such as node-fetch. Select a trigger for execution, like running on a new L1/L2 block or on a new L1/L2 on-chain event, and deploy. Your function will be executed on dozens of independent decentralized validator nodes.
[ORBS VM]
Orbs VM - Decentralized Docker-Based Virtual Machine
Dedicated decentralized virtual machine, similar in concept to AWS EC2 - but decentralized.
Implement your custom service as a Docker container, without any blockchain specific knowledge. Use any programming language you like, such as Go, C++, Rust, JavaScript, Java, Python and more. Deploy your container to have it executed as an always-on service on dozens of independent decentralized validator nodes.
[COMPARISON]
Compute Cloud Alternatives
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading centralized compute cloud platform in the world today. AWS segments the compute cloud market according to the flexibility/complexity tradeoff. For simplicity - AWS offers the serverless AWS Lamda. For flexibility - AWS offers the powerful AWS EC2.
The Orbs network aspires to be the leading decentralized compute cloud platform. Orbs segments the decentralized compute cloud market in a similar way. For simplicity - Orbs offers the serverless AWS Lambda. For flexibility - Orbs offers the powerful Orbs VM.

[EVOLUTION]
Evolution of Decentralized Execution
The first decentralized execution platform in the world that was truly Turing-complete is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The EVM was a marvel of innovation, but for security considerations as a base layer, had to limit its execution capabilities in a tight security sandbox.
Orbs Lambda expands these capabilities significantly by allowing developers to use the world's most popular language - JavaScript - without limits and fully access data outside the chain. Orbs VM takes execution capabilities a step further and allows developers to use any programming language over the world's most popular container - Docker.

- One API.
- Every on-chain order type.
- Institutional-grade execution.
