FaaStRuby Building a FaaS platform with Redis

Paulo Arruda talks about how Redis helped him build FaaStRuby and gives a demonstration on how to build a FaaS architecture with Redis.

After signing the petition "We Want Serverless Ruby!", Arruda was wondering what it takes to build a serverless platform from scratch. In this presentation, he will talk a little bit about serverless adoption, as well as the main challenges he faced while building FaaStRuby and how Redis helped him solve them. The key takeaways are: - To encourage serverless adoption, we need language-specific frameworks that develop like a monolith and deploy like distributed functions; - Those frameworks must integrate with cloud and self-hosted, language-specifc FaaS platforms; - Redis is a great tool for backing FaaS platforms and has a very important role to play in the future of distributed applications.
