Go Serverless!

In the beginning there was hardware. We would buy rack servers from vendors and put them in our data centres. Then came virtualisation, and we would run hypervisors on our hardware to provision VMs. In the cloud we could provision VMs even faster.

Now, while we’re in the middle of The Great Containerisation, with more and more companies adopting Docker and other container technologies, another option is gaining attention: Serverless.

What is Serverless? What does it mean, what is it useful for and how can I get started?

Join us to find out!

We will provide something to eat and drink

An introduction to Serverless

Anna Doubková, Senior Software Engineer at Pizza Hut @lithinn

Serverless is getting a lot of traction from business small and large. What is it? Why is it good? How does it work? You’ll find out this and more in this talk.

Anna is a JavaScript developer who loves working with new technologies. Currently working at PizzaHut, she does full-stack development to deliver a great end to end solution focused on user experience.

Going Serverless

Marcel Cutts, Software Engineer at Red Badger @marcelcutts

Cloud computing services such as AWS, Azure and Google Compute have rapidly changed how we think and feel about our infrastructure. Software deployments are no longer copy-pasting a zipped folder full of code onto a physical machine’s network drive – and nothing is pushing the change more than Serverless. We’ll explore how the serverless approach fits with your project and demonstrate how you can utilise it to conquer the important task of replacing the faces of your friends and enemies with emojis.

Marcel is a vagabond software engineer whose work has ranged from providing altitude control software for satellites, to scaling a fitness app to millions of users. He can often be found courageously flinging himself at emerging technologies to explore what’s all hype, what has substance, and what gives you the biggest hipster cred.
