Cerver runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 228 installs a week from npm.
AI backend for your app: a chat per customer, replies with their cost, spend caps per project.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Cerver every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
