Auth0 Webtasks is a platform for easily creating a serverless HTTP Endpoint / Webhook. Auth0 Webtasks executes node.js code in a secure and safe manner. There's no servers to deploy, no tools you have to install, just code.

- Simple Node.js programming model
- High fidelity of HTTP, webtasks can even return HTML
- Full access to node modules available on npmjs.com
- Rich browser based editing experience
