How can your business benefit from going serverless?

Serverless architectures let you build and deploy applications and services with infrastructure resources that require zero administration. In the past, you had to provision and scale servers to run your application code to install and operate distributed databases and build and run custom software to handle API requests. Now AWS provides a stack of scalable fully-managed services that eliminates these operational complexities. In this session, you will learn about the basics of serverless and especially how your business can benefit from it.

The increasing pace of change in software development requires organizations to restructure their efforts and split their applications into microservices in order to keep up. The more they can independently evolve parts of their increasingly complex systems at scale, and decouple their innovation (applications and user experience) from infrastructure management, the better positioned they will be to serve their customers. Why are we witnessing a paradigm shift?
