Rethinking Serverless Containers

The pain of writing serverless functions, paying for resources that are not In use, and runtime unavailability can be a developer’s nightmare. With Serverless containers, You can run any programming language of your choice, pay for resources used, and focus on the business logic of your app.

Serverless Containers are the game changers we have been waiting for. So come and join me in this talk as I demystify Serverless Containers.

1. Rethinking Serverless Containers
2. Hey! I’m Obinna Odirionye. - Kubernetes Engineer, Kubermatic. - Member and Maintainer, CNCF Helm ChartMuseum. - Minimalist @odirionyeo
3. Open Source Festival 2022 What is Serverless “Serverless doesn't mean there’s no servers, it means we think about Servers less” Scott Hanselman tweet:
4. What Serverless Offers • Pay for what you use - Compute • No server management is required • Inherently Scalable • Quick and Fast deployments It’s Goodness!
5. Cons of Serverless • Not built for long running processes - It’s gets better • Performance issue • Vendor lock-in is a Risk • Hard to debug Ugh! Bad side
6. Serverless started as just functions!
7. Open Source Festival 2022 Serverless Functions Make a twitter Bot, Build a RESTful API endpoints, Make an S3 file replicator and many more… Examples
8. Serverless functions • Limited Runtime Availability • Heavily decoupled • Vendor Lock-in The bad parts
9. OMW! So Much Problems. Argh!
10. “The Birth of Serverless Containers”
11. Open Source Festival 2022 Serverless Containers “Serverless has evolved beyond FAAS and functions are an implementation detail.” Kelsey Hightower tweet:
12. Serverless Containers In August 15, 2018, Google Cloud released Cloud Run - Alpha Release. The goal was to bring the best parts of Serverless and Containers together. The cons of serverless functions were solved in Serverless Containers.
13. Serverless Containers • Openness to business Logic • Split Traffic. Canary Deployment! • No Vendor Lock-in • OMG! No, You don’t need to know Kubernetes! • Bring your own runtime, Use any language of your choice The Good Parts
14. So much Talk! Let’s Invoke The Demo Gods [Link: https://github.com/nerdeveloper/nodejs-azure-container-app]
15. Open Source Festival 2022 The Future of Serverless “We need to adopt Serverless Containers as the benefits are enormous. We are not there yet but on the way. Rethinking the way we deploy apps with Serverless is happening and we just scratched the surface.”
