A walk-through of the evolution of SSR in the last twelve years. We will cover how techniques changed, typical problems, tools you can use and various solutions, all from the point of view of my personal experience as a consumer and maintainer.

This talk explores the use case of SLOs and transforms whilst migration to the serverless ecosystem. The talk starts by presenting the reasons why SLOs are important in the SRE/DevOps framework. It then analyses specific use cases of SLOs, the tools used for measuring the efficiency of SLOs and presents the main bottlenecks encountered when defining and adhering to SLOs in the process of migrating to a serverless ecosystem, especially when dealing with burn rates and transforms.By the end of the talk, the audience will be able to subscribe to the following takeaways:SLOs are important in a SRE/DevOps framework and there are numerous advantages for implementing them as long as they adhere to a process of continuous improvement.Adopting the right tools and metrics are paramount in the implementation of SLOs.Migrating to serverless adds pressure to the observability system and it is possible that burn rates and transforms will backfire. Our use case will show how it's possible to mitigate these challenges and learn from similar situations.

GraphQL is a powerful and useful tool, especially popular among frontend developers. It can significantly speed up app development and improve application speed, API discoverability, and documentation. GraphQL is not an excellent fit for simple APIs only - it can power more advanced architectures. The separation between queries and mutations makes GraphQL perfect for event sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). By making your advanced GraphQL app serverless, you get a fully managed, cheap, and extremely powerful architecture.

In this talk I explain how the AWS Lambda service works explaining the architecture, how it scales and how a developer should think about when they design their software using Lambda functions

Building search into applications can be quite easy. This talk has been really fun for audiences because I often get audience members involved, often building out the code themselves, while they try to stump each other by naming the hardest things to find. The application is hosted in a Code Sandbox, so the audience takes the code home with them. Also, I can do the same presentation with movies, if the organizers prefer.

Observability is crucial for successfully operating large IoT fleets. IoT incorporates different components, including hardware, network, on-device software, and cloud. Devices operate under unreliable conditions and constraints, and need to be monitored remotely. Cloud applications become complex and costly, as they are built to handle device activity at scale. Answering questions such as: -    Do I have a problem in my IoT application? -    Where is the problem? -    What is causing the problem? -    How much of my fleet is affected? -    Is my code expensive to run and if yes, how can I fix that? , can be challenging. Logging, monitoring and tracing are fundamental observability pillars. However, they are often viewed as non-functionals in IoT applications, and can fall off the radar, or are not standardized during development. This session will show how to leverage Open Source tools, such as AWS Lambda PowerTools, in a fully functional Serverless IoT application, to ease adoption of best practices for modern application development, and integrate services such as Amazon X-Ray, Amazon CloudWatch and AWS IoT Core features, to achieve end-to-end observability.

In this talk micro frontend expert Florian Rappl will introduce the pattern of creating a Siteless UI. This is a frontend composed of different pieces that can be developed independently and are deployed without having or managing any server. Florian will show you how to get started in that space, what decisions to take, and what pitfalls you should avoid. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Serverless technologies help us build better and more scalable applications in the cloud. It's a powerful paradigm that allows us to focus on creating business values and letting the cloud provider handle the undifferentiated heavy-liftings such as managing the underlying infrastructure. In this session, Yan Cui would take us through many of the lessons that he has learnt from running serverless workloads in production over the last five years, including development tips, testing and observability strategies, and much more. You can check the slides for Yan's talk <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cHZIF9E82VxEAd6s_YZ_d-UexuRWWsrX/view?usp=sharing">here</a>. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Decentralized apps (dApps) are continuing to gain momentum in the industry. These developers are also now some of the highest paid in the entire trade. Building decentralized apps is a paradigm shift that requires a different way of thinking than apps built with traditional centralized infrastructure, tooling, and services – taking into consideration things like game theory, decentralized serverless infrastructure, and cryptoeconomics. As a React developer, I initially had a hard time understanding this entirely new (to me) ecosystem, how everything fit together, and the mental model needed to understand and be a productive full stack developer in this space (and why I would consider it in the first place). In this talk, I'll give a comprehensive overview of the space, how you can get started building these types of applications, and the entire tech stack broken apart then put back together to show how everything works. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

DevOps.js Conf 2021

AWS ushered in a new landscape for deploying JavaScript applications using Node.js hosted in AWS Lambda, and since then the management simplicity that it provides has made serverless applications and APIs grow exponentially in both popularity and use cases. However, operationally for many starting out, troubleshooting issues can be painful. I'll walk through some techniques to make this easier and provide an evolution of how we can get to a better solution with tips and tools you can use in your serverless deployments right away. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

TestJS Summit

TestJS Summit - January, 2021

According to many polls, testing serverless applications and fear of the cloud vendor lock-in are among the top five challenges organizations face when adopting serverless. We often hear that using serverless effectively requires a mind shift. But what does that mean? Do we need new tools and strategies for testing serverless applications, or can we use existing tools we already use for our non-serverless applications? And what about cloud vendor lock-in? Is that a real thing or just a fictional story that scares people away from serverless? Can we decrease a risk of vendor lock-in using a well-known architecture, such as hexagonal architecture? <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

In this workshop, we discuss the merits of serverless architecture and how it can be applied to the AI space. We'll explore options around building serverless RAG applications for a more lambda-esque approach to AI. Next, we'll get hands on and build a sample CRUD app that allows you to store information and query it using an LLM with Workers AI, Vectorize, D1, and Cloudflare Workers.

This workshop discusses the challenges Enterprises are facing when scaling the data tier to support multi-region deployments and serverless environments. Serverless edge functions and lightweight container orchestration enables applications and business logic to be easily deployed globally, often leaving the database as the latency and scaling bottleneck. Join us to understand how PolyScale.ai solves these scaling challenges intelligently caching database data at the edge, without sacrificing transactionality or consistency. Get hands on with PolyScale for implementation, query observability and global latency testing with edge functions.

In this workshop, we will be building a testing environment for a pre-built application, then we will write and automate end-to-end tests for our serverless application. And in the final step, we will demonstrate how easy it is to understand the root cause of an erroneous test using distributed testing and how to debug it in our CI/CD pipeline with Thundra Foresight.
