hype! serverless 101 why? why not? serverless @ bustle tools
None
The people who are serving websites on Lambda or something
are not only doing it wrong, they are wasting money while locking themselves in to an architecture that doesn't fit their app - @scrollaway on HN
doesn’t scale not production ready too slow too expensive
None
serverless for 99% of user requests
10-20 million calls per day
< 200ms
< $$$
Serverless 101
there are still servers…
…but what if we abstracted them away?
as a Service
Where does the business logic go?
None
None
Functions as a Service
run only when needed
pay only when running
don’t bother me with details

re:invent happening right now…
app.get(‘/‘, sayHello) function sayHello(req,res){ res.end(‘hello!’) }
app.get(‘/‘, sayHello) function sayHello(req,res){ res.end(‘hello!’) }
app.get(‘/‘, sayHello) function sayHello(req,res){ res.end(‘hello!’) } Functions Routing
Functions-aaS + Routing-aaS
Lambda + API Gateway
Lambda
None
write code zip upload fn()
node java python
node shim + rust/go/haskell
function(event,context,cb){ cb(null, ‘Hello World’) }
versioning aliases RAM + CPU logging non-http events
API Gateway
None
click around a lot
cache/throttle authorization api keys logging/metrics custom domains ssl swagger import/export
why serverless?
None
ops
2011 startup ops: heroku down? get lunch!
2016 startup ops: have a plan

why not?
lock in
const express = require(‘express’) const fn = require(./lambda-fn/) const app
= express() app.get('/', (req, res) => { fn.handler(null, null, (err, result) => { res.json(result) }) }); app.listen(3000)
cold functions
const data = loadBigData() // Takes 15s module.exports.handler = function(e,ctx,cb){
processBigData(data, cb) }
