Serverless

You can also host the HTTP API yourself. The API is based on Cloudflare Workers and the Serverless Framework. A free Cloudflare Workers account contains 100.000 free requests. So just give it a try.

Step 3#

Change to the project directory and copy the file .env.dist to .env:

cd avatars-serverless
cp .env.dist .env

Step 4#

Edit the new created .env file and enter the following data:
