I thought this video gonna be confusing but after watch it through it actually very simple to integrate your application to FaaS

Good introduction with example. Thanks!

This could be more to the point about what serverless is. I didn't understand until about 2 minutes in. It felt a lot like talk about water and a picture of tomatoes. Then at 2 minutes in, a brief sentence about what serverless is. I suppose now I will google what that term means.

So, for those people who didn't get as much as wanted from this video:

Here's a link to the wikipedia article:

Briefly: Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Pricing is based on the actual amount of resources consumed by an application, rather than on pre-purchased units of capacity. It is a form of utility computing.

Also Martin Fowler starts talking about Serverless as applications that significantly depend on third-party services for the backend. known as Backend as a Service or "BaaS". Or or on custom code that's run in ephemeral containers (Function as a Service or "FaaS").

Here's more Martin Fowler:

Great video... It will be great to see a DynamoDB (Amazon database) connected to Lamda.

What about other cloud serverless platforms, like Azure, Google or IBM?

I've seen that u're working as a fullstack developer at rovio, I'm right? Which stack do you use?

How ! why you don't care about the infrastructure of the conducts !!! the water conducts !

[blackclover]

Is AWS the only choice for serverless?

[rajeshkumarreddy]

This means, if you own the server it is just maintenance cost, that to over a period of time that would be negligible where as this pay per use server will suck your blood forever. Dare to argue with me?

[dragonhunterutub]

at 5:27 you get the point of the video, serverless, serverless, serverless... Boum make an AWS account, why not Azure or google cloud or firebase ?

Actually, many of us do care about the infrastructure which delivers water throughout a city.

I'm half way in... Still no idea what serverless is!

I do know about water utilities though, and if I'm a dev ops, then I need to learn it.
