Going Serverless

The meetup will open with some news items that happened the past month in the Go world (5 minutes)

Title of the main talk: "Going Serverless" (20 - 30 minutes)

Serverless is an architectural concept that enables developers to run code on a server without having to provision servers themselves.

In this talk we will look at what serverless is (and what it is not). A demo will show how your Go code can be run on serverless architectures by using Google Cloud Functions as the provider.
