This talk will examine the Serverless phenomenon, popularized by AWS Lambda but now proposed by many public cloud providers such as Google and Microsoft. We’ll look at what Serverless is, what advantages it brings to developers and operators as well as why the cloud providers would offer such a service. The cloud provider frameworks tend to be specific to their environment but open source frameworks exist to facilitate deployment to multiple cloud providers or to implement independent frameworks without lock-in. We’ll compare them. Let’s also look at what are the real-world services which can be built with the Serverless paradigm. Learn about the event driven programming pattern and the importance of APIs to implement interesting use cases There are many Open Source Serverless implementations - some aim to emulate AWS Lambda for testing or deployment, whilst other projects such as OpenWhisk and FaaS provide much richer execution environments or the ability to interwork with serveral cloud backends. Learn how to get started with this technology by deploying your own Server for Serverless ;-), or just using online resources. Learn also about the latest developments from Twilio and AWS in this fast moving domain
