The first meeting in the reboot of Serverless Z\u00fcrich took place in ZHAW, Lagerstrasse<\/a> in late September – it was attended by an audience which was modest in size but very engaged. There were two talks – one by Szilveszter Farkas<\/a> of Rackspace<\/a> who went through their experience automating deployment and management of serverless functions on AWS Lambda<\/a> and one by yours truly on scaling serverless functions on Open Source platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Szilvester discussing one of the frameworks developed by Rackspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Szilvester was first up and he covered how they developed their own tools and frameworks initially but ultimately ended up working with more widely adopted tools, Terraform<\/a> in particular: in their defence, when they started looking at this space, the supports for serverless management in widely used tools was very rudimentary and did not meet their requirements – a classical challenge associated with embracing new technologies early in their adoption. Szilveszter also gave a nice overview of the range of tools in the serverless space – mainly around AWS Lambda – that they think are interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A key takeaway from Szilvester’s talk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up, I gave a talk which had a very different focus: the focus was on Open Source serverless solutions and, in particular, how activity on a message bus can be linked to instantiation of functions. I did a small demo of the work that we’re doing in which we’re linking up databases and filestores to serverless platforms<\/a> and instantiating functions based on activity on a Kafka<\/a> bus. We’re using the KEDA<\/a> framework for this and we’re interested in exploring some of its dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slides for both talks are linked to in the comments on the Meetup page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our objective is to run these events more regularly – probably every 2\/3 months and cover different aspects of the serverless space, ranging from experience reports to best practices to new platforms and technologies. We hope to offer compelling content over the next 6 months to build up the momentum within a community around this exciting and high-potential technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch this space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
