Explore serverless computing beyond the hype in this conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2018. Delve into the importance of hype in the tech industry, particularly for serverless technologies. Learn why container-based solutions offer the best approach for multi-cloud portability, and discover how the industry is gravitating towards Kubernetes for container management. Compare three popular serverless frameworks for Kubernetes, and examine real-world use cases. Gain insights into OpenFaaS, a Functions-as-a-Service platform, its developer-friendly features, and Kubernetes-native architecture. Investigate case studies from BT Research in the UK and Vision Banco in Paraguay, showcasing practical applications of serverless technologies. Understand the community-centric approach of OpenFaaS and explore an example of working with a bank's API using serverless functions.
