Chris Noring: Stateful long running Serverless functions

Durable Functions are an extension of Azure Functions that lets you write stateful functions in a serverless environment. Durable functions manages state, checkpoints, and restarts for you. It means you can have long-running functions like really long running functions. It also has a state which means it remembers where it is, like a workflow.

How about this. Imagine you have a situation where
you need to manage something by dividing it up in different checkpoints. Each checkpoint is one step closer for it to be considered handled. More concretely imagine a game for example where you need to load a bunch of different resources and only when everything is loaded and ready are you able to play the game.

Istvan Hartung: Offloading traffic from servers by allowing clients to directly access blob storage

We at Tresorit store PB-s of data in the cloud. One of our early challenges was providing enough bandwidth to all of our customers while maintaining the same level of control as if all data was uploaded/downloaded through our own servers. In this talk I will show you what we came up with to solve this problem, and also tell how that old architectural decision allows us to store files in different data locations for our customers today.
