What is AS2?
AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a specification for secure Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) over the Internet. It provides:
- Encryption - Messages are encrypted using S/MIME
- Digital Signatures - Messages are signed to ensure authenticity
- Non-repudiation - MDN receipts prove message delivery
- Reliability - Built-in retry and acknowledgment mechanisms
Major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target require AS2 for vendor communications. Serverless AS2 makes it easy to connect with these trading partners without expensive commercial software.
Why Serverless AS2?
Traditional AS2 solutions come with pain points that Serverless AS2 solves:
| Pain Points | Serverless AS2 Solution |
|---|---|
| High monthly minimums | $0 on Free Tier; pay only for what you use |
| Complex, time-consuming setup | One command, 15 minutes — ready to trade |
| Manual XML configuration | Web UI for everything — pure point-and-click |
| Certificate management headaches | Centralized UI with expiration tracking |
| Difficult to scale | Auto-scales with automatic capacity |
| Vendor lock-in | Open source, runs on your AWS account — you own it |
