"Kubernetes is a fairly complex system with many moving parts. Its ecosystem is constantly evolving and adding even more layers (service mesh, ...) to the mix. Considering this environment, we don't hear enough real-world horror stories to learn from each other!"

Serverless 101

  • Services that run without the need for infrastructure provisioning

& scaling

  • Built-in availability and security
  • Pay-for-value billing model
  • Focus on "secret sauce"
  • Faster path to customer value

Serverless is also a perfect fit for "recreational cloud programming"

Takeaways

  • Cloud projects don't have to be big or great
  • Sometimes, it's enough for them to be fun
  • Building things is fulfilling, servers are a distraction
  • Serverless is a great fit for recreational programming
