Hands-On Stateful Serverless Applications with K8s and Stateful Functions

Explore the world of stateful serverless applications in this 35-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2021. Dive into Stateful Functions, a framework designed to simplify the creation of consistent stateful serverless applications. Learn how this innovative tool integrates with popular event-driven FaaS platforms like AWS Lambda and KNative, providing out-of-the-box consistent state and reliable messaging while maintaining serverless elasticity. Follow along as the speaker guides you through building and deploying a Stateful Functions application that tracks user events and runs a stateful ML classifier, demonstrating how this framework serves as an independent event-driven stack replacing traditional databases.
