Hadrien David: Painful Serverless

Serverless architecture is a hot topic: It promises low operational costs, infinite scalability, less management. In reality, it strongly challenges the way you design, implement and deploy your application. Moreover, you have to choose amongst a variety of vendors providing function as a service platform (FaaS) with highly opinionated and different APIs. This talk aims to release the pain by presenting a summary of nice idioms and practises with python examples based on AWS Lambdas.

It's time to learn how to become a REST elitist and fight back.
