Streams vs Serverless - Friend or Foe

Explore the relationship between serverless platforms and stream processors in this 44-minute Devoxx conference talk. Dive into the similarities and differences between fine-grained, fully managed serverless functions and rich streaming primitives offered by stream processors. Examine the roots of both technologies in real-time event streams and evaluate their adequacy for modern applications. Learn about the stateful and stateless operations provided by stream processors like Kafka Streams. Gain insights into emerging architectures for event-driven systems and how they differ from traditional microservices, functions, and streaming systems. Discover how serverless and stream processing technologies can both compete and complement each other in contemporary software development.
