Transaction system having a serverless architecture that provides multi-language multi-platform transaction support for multiple vendors in conjunction with a cloud-based computing platform

A cloud-based computing system that is configurable to request a transaction via a third-party vendor of a plurality of third-party vendors and receive a transaction response result of that transaction from another cloud computing platform having a serverless capability that is independent of a cloud computing platform such that at least part of the transaction occurs at the other cloud computing platform, the cloud-based computing system comprising at least one hardware-based processor and memory, wherein the memory comprises processor-executable instructions encoded on a non-transient processor-readable media, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, are configurable to cause:

• sending a transaction request for the transaction in response to an API call from a client, the transaction having a specific transaction type that corresponds to a particular serverless function of the third-party vendor;
• sending, a call that includes the transaction request from an adapter to the other cloud computing platform, wherein the other cloud computing platform is configurable to:
• invoke the particular serverless function, in response to receiving the transaction request, to generate a transaction response, wherein the particular serverless function comprises:
• vendor code for the specific transaction type that has been integrated within a particular template of a plurality of templates exposed by an adapter layer of the cloud computing platform, wherein at least some of the vendor code is written in any programming language other than a proprietary programming language of the cloud computing platform, wherein each of the plurality of templates corresponds to a different transaction type of a plurality of transaction types, and wherein each particular template is a code statement that follows a standard code definition written in the proprietary programming language of the cloud computing platform;
• and
• receiving, at the cloud computing platform, the transaction response from the adapter, wherein the transaction response includes a particular transaction response result and is consumable by the cloud computing platform.

• a cloud computing platform comprising another server system that is independent of the other cloud computing platform and being configurable to cause:
• sending, in response to an API call from a client, a transaction request for the transaction, the transaction having a specific transaction type that corresponds to a particular serverless function of the third-party vendor, wherein the particular serverless function comprises:

• and
• an adapter provided by a third-party application exchange that is configurable to cause:
• sending a call that includes the transaction request to the other cloud computing platform in response to receiving the transaction request;
• and sending a transaction response that is generated by the particular serverless function to the cloud computing platform, wherein the transaction response includes a particular transaction response result and is consumable by the cloud computing platform.
