Nimbella Commander

What is Nimbella Commander?

Nimbella Commander allows you to build serverless apps and APIs for Slack (or for use as Slack slash commands). As a user, you don’t have to worry about hosting a server for your apps since we host your code on the Nimbella cloud, and because of Nimbella’s built-in security features, you don’t have to worry about securing your code or API keys. You can focus on writing your code and app logic.
