Serverless and You #95

Closed MarcelCutts closed 7 years ago

MarcelCutts commented 7 years ago

Cloud computing services such as AWS, Azure and Google Compute have rapidly changed how we think and feel about our infrastructure. DevOps deployment is no longer copy-pasting a zip folder full of code onto a physical machine's network drive - and nothing is pushing the engine of change more than Serverless.

Serverless allows us to create event driven node micro-services with absolute ease, perfectly fitting into continuous integration / continuous deployment workflows. It boasts a wide range of plugins, and more importantly, allows us to effortlessly scale any number of stages to the nth degree.

Is Serverless for you? Quite probably! Lets find out.

Marcel (@marcelcutts) is a shifty vagabond type often found near laptops, currently belonging to the street gang known as Red Badger. Over his ten or so years in software he has worked on everything from scientific Fortran to the most hipster React code and will be your personal best friend forever should you feed him a BLT.

Hey @MarcelCutts - this sounds really great. We had a couple talks about AWS lambda last year which went down well - I think your talk will be a good addition - especially if you can answer your own question ("Is serverless for you?") with some practical considerations and examples for JS/Node developers.

How are you fixed for later this month? We have slots available for 22nd Feb if you're able?

MarcelCutts commented 7 years ago

Hopefully I can! We've been using it at scale for a number of different projects so I can preach both the glitz and the frustration of Serverless in its current state.

22nd of Feb should be fine for me.

admataz commented 7 years ago

thanks @MarcelCutts

If you want to run your talk past any of us at LNUG for some review and pointers - feel free to drop a line - we'd be happy to offer feedback

Meanwhile - adding you as confirmed to the schedule for Feb 22nd

Hi @MarcelCutts - just confirming you're all good for Wednesday? We will be setting up from about 6pm - if you can get there so we can test your laptop with the AV set up and the video guy... usually an HDMI output is enough - but bring any adapters you may have for your laptop. Thanks!

Hey Adam,

Still good for Wednesday, will try to be there close to 6pm.

One thing, I assume as it's at Maker's I assume there'll be passable internet for a potentially interesting demo?

Cheers! Marcel

Hey Marcel - yes the internet connection is usually pretty good there. I'd say have an offline backup demo if possible just in case - but you'll probably be fine.

MarcelCutts commented 7 years ago

Cheers Adam - will do.

Hi @MarcelCutts - thanks for your talk last night - I think everyone had a good evening and I had some good feedback on all the talks.

Could you upload your slides somewhere and add a link here?

MarcelCutts commented 7 years ago

Hi Adam,

That's great to hear - my delivery was a bit off but I think we all did our best near the end there!

My slides are hosted here https://marcelcutts.github.io/ServerlessTalk/#/_ .

Let me know if you need anything further.

Cheers! Marcel
