Serverless functions are located in src/functions

A serverless functions pipeline is included via Netlify Dev. By running netlify dev you'll be able to execute any of your serverless functions directly like this:

/.netlify/functions/hello

Redirects and proxies

Netlify's Redirects API can provide friendlier URLs as proxies to these URLs.

/api/hello
