Serverless beyond Functions

JeffConf, Milan, September 29th, 2017

One of the great advantages of serverless development is the possibility to “chain” multiple functions together, and design event-driven architectures. Applications built in this way are easier to keep under control, because our human minds are much better in looking for cause-effect relationships than understanding a complex workflow. But it is time now to go beyond that, considering serverless in its broader definition of building applications “without thinking about servers”, and use all available tools.

  3. Serverless Case Studies PhotoVogue is an online photography platform. Launched

    in 2011 and part of Vogue Italia - which is owned by Condé Nast Italia - it allows upcoming photographers to showcase their work. The Benefits Quicker provisioning, from days to hours 90% faster Cut IT costs by around 30% Seamless scalability Amazon S3 AWS Lambda Amazon API Gateway Amazon CloudFront “With Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda, the user experience is up to 90% faster. That's for both photographers uploading images and the editorial team processing them.” Marco Viganò Head of Digital Development
  4. Serverless Case Studies F-Secure Increases Customer Insight and Speeds Up

    Activation Using AWS “We’ve shown the rest of the company that we can put our ideas into action faster and save 70% on infrastructure costs by using AWS compared to running hardware on- premises…. We’re inspiring a shift toward the cloud, and microservices in particular, because of these great benefits.” Niina Ojala Service Lead
  5. Serverless Case Studies UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency Supports

    Secure, Data-Driven Innovation “We are decomposing our applications into smaller, discrete components so we can choose the most appropriate technology” An API-First Approach “We stood up a working prototype in just a few days using Amazon API Gateway. The speed with which we were able to deliver it was unprecedented” Matt Lewis Chief Architect, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency AWS Lambda Amazon API Gateway

    the innovative capabilities of HealthSuite, our cloud- enabled connected health ecosystem of devices, applications and digital tools supported by AWS, even when there is no network support.” Embedded Applications —Dale Wiggins, Business Leader, HealthSuite digital platform, Philips
  8. Snowball Edge Use Cases “With AWS Snowball Edge, we can

    now collect 100 TB of data with no intermediate steps, and we can also analyze the images immediately using the onboard compute capabilities.” Remote Locations for data collection and analysis — Bob Cowen, Director of Hatfield Marine Research Center, Oregon State University
  9. AWS Lambda@Edge Customize content delivery while reducing load on the

    origin Events / Triggers Take serverless to your users
  10. Lambda@Edge Use Cases These processes include applying transactional labels to

    purchases so Blockbuster can track customer activity, and providing personalized recommendations based on previous purchases. Blockbuster runs serverless compute processes across AWS Regions and Amazon CloudFront edge locations (using Lambda@Edge) without provisioning or managing servers.

  22. Functional Programming Transforming Data Using Expressions (Functions) Without Side Effects

    Immutable Data Pure Functions Higher-Order Functions From “Research Topics in Functional Programming” ed. D. Turner, Addison-Wesley, 1990, pp 17–42. 1 Why Functional Programming Matters John Hughes The University, Glasgow Abstract As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to write and to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be reused to reduce future programming costs. In this paper we show that two fea- tures of functional languages in particular, higher-order functions and lazy evaluation, can contribute significantly to modularity. As examples, we manipulate lists and trees, program several numerical algorithms, and im- plement the alpha-beta heuristic (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligence used in game-playing programs). We conclude that since modularity is the key to successful programming, functional programming o↵ers important advantages for software development. 1 Introduction This paper is an attempt to demonstrate to the larger community of (non- functional) programmers the significance of functional programming, and also to help functional programmers exploit its advantages to the full by making it clear what those advantages are. Functional programming is so called because its fundamental operation is the application of functions to arguments. A main program itself is written as a function that receives the program’s input as its argument and delivers the program’s output as its result. Typically the main function is defined in terms of other functions, which in turn are defined in terms of still more functions, until at the bottom level the functions are language primitives. All of these functions are much like ordinary mathematical functions, and in this paper they will be 1 An earlier version of this paper appeared in the The Computer Journal, 32(2):98–107, April 1989.
