Hey everyone,

At this meetup we are partnering with our friends from Microsoft.

Patrick Chanezon is a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft and he will be sharing with us the inevitable convergence of containers and serverless technologies. Patrick’s profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chanezon/

In the past 5 years we have seen 2 technology trends growing exponentially: containers and serverless. This year they converge.

The Kubernetes API became the equivalent of the POSIX standard for today's distributed computing fabric: a standard API you can rely on for portability, in any cloud or on premises. But developers need a higher level than that to create applications in a productive way. The programming model that emerged in recent years, called serverless, or Function As A Service, consists in building your distributed application as a set of functions reacting to events. A serverless runtime will take care of dispatching events to the right functions, and manage function execution and scaling. The initial serverless runtimes were proprietary services tied to a specific cloud provider. In the past 2 years a rich landscape of open source serverless runtimes running on top of Kubernetes flourished: this talk will give you an overview of the landscape so you can pick the runtime that fits your requirements, and will include a set of hands-on demos.

We will cover the CNCF serverless working group specification CloudEvents, and the following runtimes: Nuclio, OpenFaaS, Fn, OpenWhisk, Gestalt, KNative, Riff, KEDA and the open source Azure Functions Runtime.

As usual, snacks and drinks will be served from around 6:30pm, with the talk starting at 7pm. Come along and have a casual chat with your peers before the session. Don’t forget to bring your photo ID card along, as security will be checking them at the door.

@Shoutout to Microsoft for sponsoring the food and drinks at the meetup
