Talk Title: Choose your own Serverless Adventure
Talk Summary: Serverless simply gets production ready applications out faster! At Momento, we love the productivity boost (and cost savings) that serverless delivers. So if you love consuming serverless services, you may also be interested in learning what it takes to build a serverless service! In this talk, you will hear first hand from Ellery - the founding engineer at Momento- about how we went about designing, building, and delivering a multi-tenant serverless service.
Speaker Bio: Ellery is the founding engineer at Momento. Before Momento, he was a platform leader at Intuit - where he managed 6K+ AWS accounts. Ellery is an expert on IAC (Infra as Code) - and deeply loves Kubernetes. He is a prolific blogger - and a key engineer at Momento

Talk Title: Let's build an Azure Functions extension in under 20 minutes!
Talk Summary: In this session Cloud Architect, Simon Waight, will start from an empty VS Code environment and have a fully functional Azure Functions extension in under 20 minutes! You'll see how to get started building Azure Functions extensions and see how you can extend the power of Azure's serverless core to on-prem, the edge, or to other clouds. No Kubernetes required!

🎤 Jeremy Daly, AWS Serverless Hero, host of the Serverless Chats Podcast, and publisher of the Off-by-none newsletter
Talk Title: Serverless = Developer Experience
Talk Summary: There’s been an explosion of “serverless” offerings over the last 8 years. From FaaS and managed services, to “serverless containers”, to the serverless database space race, and most recently, the ridiculous “serverless” branding of services like Amazon Neptune and OpenSearch.
The debate over what is, or what is not, serverless is sure to rage on, but arguing the nuances of purity will continue to be lost on many, and ignored by most. And maybe that’s okay. The truth is that it doesn’t matter what we call these services because, in the real world, people just want to get things done using the incredible power of the public cloud. The better question is: how well do these services fit into workflows that maximize developer productivity to rapidly create value for end users?
In this talk, we’ll discuss why developer experience is so important, and how it’s a much better indicator of “serverlessness” than simple litmus tests or marketing spin.
Speaker Bio: Jeremy is a passionate serverless advocate, an AWS Serverless Hero, and a senior technology leader with more than 25 years of experience building web and mobile applications. He is an active member of the serverless community, creating and contributing to open source serverless projects, and frequently consulting with companies looking to adopt serverless. Jeremy also writes extensively about serverless on his blog jeremydaly.com, publishes Off-by-none, a weekly email newsletter that focuses on all things serverless, and hosts the Serverless Chats Podcast. He is currently the CEO of Ampt.

Remember to bring along some great questions!
