What Catalyst Is
Zoho’s serverless platform. Functions (Node, Java, Python), Data Store (NoSQL), File Store, Authentication, Cache. Pay per use.
Functions
Event-driven or HTTP-triggered. Integrate with Zoho apps or external APIs. Scale automatically. Cold starts like any serverless.
Data Store
NoSQL document store. Suitable for flexible schemas. Query via SDK. Different from Zoho CRM’s modular data.
Authentication
OAuth, API keys, user management. Build auth into apps without rolling your own. Integrates with Zoho identity.
When It Fits
Custom extensions to Zoho that don’t fit Creator. Back-end services behind custom apps. Event-driven integrations at scale.
