Using Nasa's API To Get An Image From Space Every Morning

In this video I give an overview about what serverless functions are and how to use one to get a text from space every morning using Nasa's Astronomy Picture of the Day API, the Twilio API and some javascript. Serverless functions are a really interesting technology that is rapidly increasing in popularity so what better than to combine it with some outer space awesomeness. I hope you find this video interesting and that it inspires you to build some cool stuff with serverless functions too!
