Workers in the Wilderness: What are Workers and how are they being used today?

Historically, you’ve been able to run code in two places: the browser, and the origin server. Cloudflare Workers allows you to run Javascript from 150+ data centers around the world. Learn about how you can improve performance, save on costs, and do so much more by running code at the edge.

Rita Kozlov is the Product Manager for Workers at Cloudflare, helping customers deploy custom logic to 150+ data centers around the world. She earned a BS in computer science at Georgia Tech. After honing her skills as a software ninja at 6Sense in San Francisco, Rita moved to Cloudflare to work as a Principal Solutions Engineer.

Talk 2 Title: Real-world Serverless Development

We’ll start with a nontrivial web app, and will use the Serverless framework to build a new feature with Workers for A/B testing or marketing analytics.

Stephen Pinkerton is a Product Manager at Cloudflare working on new products and integrating Workers with the Serverless framework. He studied computer science at UC Santa Cruz and previously did internships spanning distributed systems and embedded software at Square, Nest, Facebook, and Monzo.

Talk 3 Title: The Future of Serverless Computing

Serverless computing is the future of how complex software systems will be designed and built. Join Kenton Varda, the tech lead and architect for the Cloudflare Workers project, as he lays out our vision for the future of the Internet as a platform, and provides a detailed look at the architecture of Workers.

Bio: Kenton Varda is the tech lead and architect for the Cloudflare Workers project, which allows Cloudflare customers to run JavaScript code directly on Cloudflare's edge network. Before he joined Cloudflare, Kenton served as co-founder and author of Sandstorm.io and created Cap'n Proto, both open source projects. Before that, Kenton spent eight years at Google, where he was responsible for open sourcing Protocol Buffers.
