Join IBM Developer for our very first Serverless Developer Summit. The Serverless Summit is a full day of talks and networking with speakers from Twilio, Slack, Cloudinary, Kong, StackPath, Espagon and IBM.
Free and open to all - come and learn about Serverless, its ecosystem and how to leverage Serverless in the enterprise. Bring your questions and appetite for learning.
Bring your laptop and try 3 self-paced Serverless tutorials. Each tutorial can be completed in 7-10 minutes. You will learn how to build the following serverless functions. You can build one, two or all three.
1) Create, build, and run a cloud-native Node.js serverless app in less than 15 minutes
2) Create, build, and run a cloud-native Python 3 serverless application that uses the Visual Recognition service to determine image content
3) Create, build, and run three serverless functions as a sequence
IBM Developer Advocates will be there to help you and answer any questions
Learn how we built our next version of Functions and Assets console experience at Twilio while addressing the big pain points that customers faced with the previous UI. We will dive into our API structure, as well as some of the more complex workflows that customers can create using the API (such as deploying to various environments and rolling back deployments)
Kubernetes by large has won the platforms' war. However, for an application developer, the details of getting an application up and running on Kubernetes is beyond what they need to care about. Efforts of implementing Serverless on top of Kubernetes aim at making the user experience simpler by removing the unnecessary complexities of Kubernetes. In this talk we discuss Knative as one of the major efforts in implementing Serverless on top of Kubernetes. We will show the user experience, and deployment experience through real life examples
Serverless like OpenWhisk represents a dramatic shift in how we approach building applications in the cloud. And API gateways like Kong can make it easier to manage your serverless functions. We will dive into why having API Gateway that is separate from your cloud provider is important when managing serverless functions. “Cloud-native first, Hybrid always”.
As companies move from monolithic to multiservice architectures, existing techniques for debugging and profiling begin to break down. Previously, troubleshooting could be accomplished by isolating a single instance of the monolith and reproducing the problem. With microservices, this approach is no longer feasible because no single service provides a complete picture of the performance or correctness of the application as a whole.Old approaches for distributed tracing include enforcing a policy across the development teams, such as writing manual traces inside the code. In serverless, cloud-based systems, new things can be achieved. Since some of the environment characteristics are known in advance, the tracing can sometimes be done automatically, which makes it far more powerful.
The talk will be about the effects of the technology movement towards X-aaS and how it resulted in birth of "serverless" architectures, and why it will be the foundation of future applications. I will also discuss how the X-aaS revolution led to the growth of specialized workflows in areas such as digital media management, and the exponential benefits this creates for developers
Let's discuss how to write less code and build a thin stack using AWS Lambda, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. We'll explore the advantages and disadvantages of using managed services to solve infrastructural challenges while focusing development time on core business logic. Is the control we give up worth the time and complexity we avoid?
Marek and Upkar will go through the top three use cases for Server with concrete examples:
* Secure and Scalable APIs
* Backend microservices
* Event driven programming
Key concepts introduced will include triggers, rules, actions, composition and event driven architecture. Finally, serverless is relatively new and we will look at what the shortcomings are with the current technology and how to mitigate them.
