Pick from encyclopedias of group sourced solutions to problems. It is a copypasta nailgun to help stick frame the newly settled Cloud Frontier. We can thank the OP when we are all slaving away in the code mines.
I think it uploads the code for example to AWS and then that code can be executed as a lambda function. Why would anyone need that is another question.
I think it's for running nodejs not "browser js" (via aws lambda or similar) without leaving the browser. I guess it's novel because it makes it easier to execute random nodejs?

It's running code as a serverless function,
On a cloud provider, not your browser.
Not just JavaScript, and it can be re-used later (saved in your provider account).
Hope this clarifies things!

After creation, the functions are saved in your provider account, so you can re-visit your growing snippet library at any time.
Sorry if I fail to see how this is novel.
