The numbers vary, but all predictions agree there will be massive growth in the Internet of Things market over the next few years. Serverless architecture enables IoT companies, from old-world appliance manufacturers with no experience in cloud computing to cloud-native startups just beginning their journey, to focus on delivering value to their customers while expending minimal resources on cloud operations. However, as a nascent technology, serverless has many rough edges. iRobot has implemented a completely serverless application supporting its vast fleet of connected Roombas, and in this talk I'll share the benefits we've reaped and obstacles we've encountered.
