2. § Definitions § Sample Architecture § Demo § Decision Making Considerations Agenda
3. "Microservices is a software architecture style in which complex applications are composed of small, independent processes communicating with each other using language- agnostic APIs." from Wikipedia What is a Microservice?
4. § Event based § API § Discreet tasks/services/processes § Independently scalable Microservice Attributes
5. "…serverless computing is a cloud computing code execution model in which the cloud provider fully manages starting and stopping virtual machines as necessary to serve requests, and requests are billed by an abstract measure of the resources required to satisfy the request, rather than per virtual machine, per hour." from Wikipedia What is Serverless?
6. § Code focused § No servers to manage § No EC2 § No manual scaling or server provisioning § No idle resources § No SSH (or RDP) Serverless Attributes EC2 SSH

9. Swagger Code Snippet
10. Swagger Controller
11. § Support for Node.js § Also Serverless § Focused on connectors & light-weight API orchestrations Apigee Limitations § Limited debugging & profiling § Not polyglot § Not recommended for complex business logic § Not a generic event processor Apigee Edge Proxies
12. Demo https://github.com/alanwill/serverless-demo
13. Technology Toolkit Software URL Languages AWS Lambda https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/ Python/Node.js/Java Serverless Framework http://serverless.com/ Python/Node.js Apigee a127 https://github.com/apigee-127/a127 Node.js Swagger http://swagger.io/ JSON/YAML
14. § Supports all AWS Lambda languages § Other public cloud providers coming soon § Local function testing § View function logs § Resource dependencies via Cloudformation § Complete service encapsulation § Node.js based § Never need the AWS Management Console or CLI Serverless Framework
16. Serverless Containers Code Deployments ✔ ✔ No Servers ✔ Persistent Workloads ✔ Event Based Workloads ✔ 3rd Party Applications ✔ Considerations…
17. Application Development Evolution PasS Serverless CaaS Containers IaaS Virtual Machines Infrastructure as Code Baremetal Provisioning Physical Servers Application Development Evolution
19. Amazon API Gateway Apigee Edge API proxy ✔ ✔ Seamless integration with AWS services ✔ Short Learning Curve ✔ Oauth Provider ✔ Request Tracing ✔ Caching ✔ ✔ Rate Limiting ✔ ✔ Swagger Support ✔ ✔ Auto-scaling Features ✔ ✔ Serverless Friendly ✔ ✔ Considerations…
20. § Learn a programming language (Node.js/Python/Java) § Check out Serverless Framework § Start small, start simple § Focus on value add Keys to success
