In recent years, the uprise of the cloud has brought us a lot of new and disruptive technologies. Everybody is talking about SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and other sorts of aaS. In 2014, Amazon launched AWS Lambda as the pinnacle of the cloud computing. It allows developers to focus on code, without spending time on managing servers.

The goal of this talk is to introduce the serverless architecture style, but it will also contain demos (eg. using AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions) on how to make this style work. Expect Lambda functions in NodeJS, using DynamoDB, consuming other functions via the AWS API Gateway.

The talk will conclude with best practices on how to use these serverless functions.
