Alex will describe a "dystopian" world in which servers are not managed by Dev(Ops) anymore, where infrastructure provisioning is an old fairy tale, and where the Clouds dominate IT.
This brave new world is being called "Serverless" and it already spans every public Cloud - with PAYG services such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions & Logic Apps, Google Cloud Functions & Firebase, etc. - and plenty of open-source projects such as Apache OpenWhisk, the Serverless Framework, OpenFaaS, etc.
Alex will highlight pros and cons of such serverless architectures, focusing on the many open-source initiatives and the Dev(Ops) perspective.
