Dispatch - A Serverless Framework - Berndt Jung & Mark Peek, VMware

This session will discuss the Dispatch open source serverless framework from VMware. The Dispatch framework uses other open source FaaS implementations (such as OpenFaaS, OpenWhisk, and RIFF) to provide an easier developer experience while adding in IT/Ops features such as multi-tenancy, monitoring, and visibility. This talk will demonstrate Dispatch leveraging RIFF for function execution and services via Open Service Broker API (CF service broker and Kubernetes service catalog).
