Serverless gives way to Storytelling

Dear "Serverless", it's time to put you in your place: middle of stack, abstracted away. Developers need to focus on what matters most: business-logic and not the plumbing, deployments, and complexities that plague application development today.

Application Storytelling is top-level language that seamlessly connects microservices and functions in a serverless way. Because "serverless" is just an abstraction after-all. It's time we amplify development with something we all want: glue code.

1. Serverless gives way to Storytelling. The story of abstraction and the future of programming.
2. Presented by Steve Peak. Codecov Storyscript I build devtools with passion and empathy. Founder Founder
3. What is serverless? How did we get here? Where is it going? What is next?
5. Serverless is just an abstraction. And like all abstractions, it helps developers focus on what matters most.
6. Kubernetes is way hotter Psst...
7. The abstraction-berg. High-Level Programming Low-Level Programming Deployments Plumbing Serverless Containers VMs Bare metal
8. Far too much plumbing. No visibility in data-flow. Poor cross-application reusability. Tools. Tools. And more tools. Steep learning curve. Unnecessary complexities. Remaining Problems
9. Kelsey Hightower said it best. “That’s it. This is all your business-logic. Everything else is just noise.”
10. Why so much noise?
11. The truth. Everything you use and love is an abstraction.
12. Every developer wants to code business-logic only. The fact.
13. Top-level programming Zero-devops deployments to a cloud-native runtime. serverless Seamlessly move data between functions and microservices in a way. The next abstraction.

26. Who searches "monoliths"?
27. Storytelling is a distributed monolith. Serverless Microservices + Serverless Functions
