Explore the concept of serverless computing in this 54-minute Devoxx conference talk. Delve into the potential future of cloud computing, moving beyond Docker to embrace a truly pay-as-you-go model. Examine the impact of serverless architectures on existing systems, and evaluate its applicability for Mobile Back-ends as a Service (MBaaS), Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS), and microservices-based cloud architectures. Learn about AWS Lambda, its supported languages, and how to create serverless projects. Discover the benefits of serverless computing, including infinite scalability, implicit fault tolerance, and event-based processing. Investigate real-world use cases, such as Amazon Alexa integration, and consider potential drawbacks like vendor lock-in. Gain insights into the skills required for serverless development and how it may reshape the future of backend services.
