Using Event Streams to orchestrate a Serverless Application

There are many examples where a single Function-as-a-Service (FAAS) can be used in isolation to add some value to your architecture; maybe it's a trigger that runs from your object store, or maybe it's a simple POST handler for your restful API. But how do you build a whole Application out of serverless components?

If you start chaining your logic together with functions calling functions, calling functions, you might very quickly run into some anti-patterns of long-running FAAS's, blocking logic, or backoff-retries running up your taxi meter!

In this presentation (and a small demo) we'll look at using event flow on a message bus, to orchestrate application logic, and build an extensible foundation that's ready to scale with your business.
