The State of Serverless

Cloud computing isn’t something that you’ll be using the future, cloud computing is the present. The Serverless paradigm is a fairly new happening in the cloud but it could be one of the most transformative for developers. In Serverless the developer doesn’t have to worry about spinning up a VM instance or keeping Windows updated we do just do what we’re good at…writing code. In this session, I’ll go over the basics of Serverless and some cloud computing basics. Then we’ll get into how Serverless is implemented in Azure (Azure Functions) and AWS (Lambda). And what’s a presentation without demos? I’ll walk through some Serverless code in Azure and AWS and show you how to start your first Serverless app.
