Automation Engineering with Serverless Compute - Kevin Lesht

Have you ever wanted to automate a tedious process? Like, relaying omelette photos straight from your phone to an omelette blog? This talk is for you! Learn how to leverage Ruby within serverless functions to handle everything from machine learning based object detection through event triggers, and static site generation!

As the system for automation is explored, so too are the challenges, or, brick walls, that were hit along the way. In this talk, you'll not only learn about technology, but also about mental models for solving problems and overcoming those inevitable brick walls.

the talk itself is good, but I just downvoted it because I don't understand why purely AWS/GCP solution is described on the ruby conference.
I understand that the important part are the approaches you take to break through the walls, and they are mostly technology-agnostic, but cmon, it's rubyconf, add at least SOME ruby!
