Serverless: The Missing Manual, Lars Röwekamp (1,5h)

Believing the analysts Serverless Computing will be the “next big thing”. Thanks to NoOps, writing a serverless function and bringing it to production is quite easy. And also combining some of them to build up a more complex system seems to be not too complicated at all. But what are suitable scenarios for Serverless Computing? When to favor serverless over other architectural approaches and when not? Are there any specific patterns to be aware of when applying serverless? How does the serverless paradigm influence the software lifecycle, e.g. testing and monitoring? And by the way, why should I use Cloud based Serverless Computing at all when there is in contrast containerization and orchestration tooling like Docker and Kubernetes? A lot of open questions to be answerd! Best place to discuss? Serverless Meetup Graz!

First steps to the cloud. From prototyping to reliable product development on AWS, Martin Kammersberger and Sebastian Ruf (45min)

It seems easy at the beginning – the first serverless prototypes can be built within hours by click-configuration in the AWS console. But when it comes to establishing a reliable and reproduceable software development process nothing comes out of the box anymore. Tooling, testing, CI/CD-pipeline – everything changes when you go serverless.
Martin and Sebastian will share their experience with CloudFormation, AWS CDK and Terraform. They will point out best practice examples and pitfalls on the way to a robust development process with cloud native services.
Learn about advantages and disadvantages of CloudFormation, AWS CDK and Terraform and Infrastructure as Code in general.
