My Talk on Serverless Architecture
A few days back, I had a chance to give a talk on Serverless Architecture — the topic about which I’m passionate about and have been working on for some time now.
It was my second time doing public speaking, but unlike before, most of the audience were from different software companies. The event was organized and managed by the Code Movement.
I love and promote OSS (open-source software) and have been open-sourcing on serverless, especially AWS Lambda, for the last 2 years. It was the main motivation behind giving this talk.
The venue was Datum Square Hall at Software Technology Park 3, Islamabad, on 18th January.
We covered the following topics in detail:
- Journey to Serverless — Why was there a need for serverless in the first place.
- What is Serverless — How serverless works under the hood.
- Why Serverless — Major benefits of using serverless.
- Serverless Frameworks — Development of serverless functions using different frameworks.
- Serverless in Production — Some production use cases for serverless.
- Demo — A demo using the AWS console and API Gateway, and another using the Serverless Framework.
Moments to remember
Looking back at the experience, I’m very thankful to have taken the opportunity to share knowledge with the people around me. I felt nervous at first, but those feelings went away after some time and everything was smooth afterward.
Peace.
