Gojko Adzic - Designing for the Serverless Age (GOTO 2017)

Architecture
[...] breaking the monolith into functions that could
be independently deployed, meant that they were
better able to split the team up to work on more
things in parallel, and to deploy each feature
separately.

Operations
[…] so their estimate is that moving to Lambda gave
an operational cost reduction of greater than 95% for
a comparable amount of compute.

Shims
Using Node.js process
API to spawn an
executable
Handling events
reported by subprocess
and passing results to
the AWS Lambda
handler
Sending input
arguments to the
spawned subprocess

Test Scenarios
1. Two endpoints:
a. Echoing incoming body.
b. Sieve of Eranthoses (naive implementation).
2. Package Size.
3. Memory Usage (dependent on input argument).
4. Execution Time (dependent on input argument).
5. Startup Time (cold start, no work done).

"Situated" Programs (from Rich Hickey's keynote at Clojure/Conj 2017)

How long does AWS Lambda keep your idle functions around before a cold start? Serverless: Cold Start War

Constraints
1. No knowledge about container and its reuse.
2. New approach requires new paths.
3. Limits everywhere!
4. Provider limitations.
5. VM optimizations required from the get go.
6. Beware the toolchain!

Safe and sane default:
F# on Azure or AWS
(.NET Core 2.0)

1. CNCF kubernetes meetup - Ondrej SikaJuraj Hantak

Kubernetes is a production-grade container orchestration system that abstracts away the underlying hardware infrastructure. It deploys and manages containerized applications and services through declarative configurations that define the desired state. Kubernetes can run on various cloud and on-premise infrastructure and is not tied to any specific vendor. It is useful for organizations that need high availability, manage many applications on servers, and want to easily deploy Dockerized workloads without worrying about infrastructure management. Core concepts in Kubernetes include Pods, Deployments, Services, Namespaces, and various cluster components like the API server, scheduler, and kubelet that ensure the actual cluster state matches the desired configurations.

Anton Boyko "The future of serverless computing"Fwdays

Are you still planning your servers capacity in CPU and RAM? Do you enjoy answering questions like “what amount of servers we need to buy to serve 10K and 10M users”? Do you enjoy paying for those servers while they are sitting idle? In my session I will talk about the current state and the future of serverless computing. I will show several demos that show how to start using serverless computing, what are the application scenarios for it, how it can scale, what it will cost, etc. This session will be useful for developers and architects who are seeking a way to create an app utilizing all your previous skills, but make it scalable, reliable, fast and cost efficient.

Azure Functions - the evolution of microservices platform or marketing gibber...Katherine Golovinova

ANTON BOYKO, Founder and main speaker of Ukrainian Microsoft Azure Community. When many people hear the word microservices, they think of Kubernetes. And it’s hard to blame them: the utilization of Docker containerization together with Kubernetes orchestration really seems like a match made in heaven. But, there is a new name in town: serverless (or FaaS). It seems it can offer you all the stuff that Kubernetes has and more. Native support for .NET, Java, Python, Node. Out-of-the-box binding for things like HTTP incoming requests (for Web API), incoming queue message (for processing async tasks), time-based trigger, etc. It also comes with micro billing (you pay only for execution time, not for idle time) and 0-to-infinite scalability. But is it all too good to be true? Aren't there any drawbacks? Is it all a huge marketing scheme to make us actually pay more? Let's find out.

How to put 100k lines of code into the (Google) cloud: storms and rainbowsPaolo Predonzani

This document discusses porting a 100k line Java application called Portofino to run on Google App Engine (GAE). It describes some of the main difficulties in porting to GAE including limitations of core platforms, startup time constraints, and sandbox limits. It outlines changes made such as using Cloud SQL instead of MySQL, the User API for authentication, and the Blobstore for file attachments. While some services like Datastore and Images were not used, Task Queues and Memcached could provide future benefits. Overall porting to GAE required architectural changes but gained the advantages of scalability and integration with Google services.

Building Cloud-Native Applications with Microsoft Windows AzureBill Wilder

Cloud computing is here to stay, and it is never too soon to begin understanding the impact it will have on application architecture. In this talk we will discuss the two most significant architectural mind-shifts, discussing the key patterns changes generally and seeing how these new cloud patterns map naturally into specific programming practices in Windows Azure. Specifically this relates to (a) Azure Roles and Queues and how to combine them using cloud-friendly design patterns, and (b) the combination of relational data and non-relational data, how to decide among them, and how to combine them. The goal is for mere mortals to build highly reliable applications that scale economically. The concepts discussed in this talk are relevant for developers and architects building systems for the cloud today, or who want to be prepared to move to the cloud in the future. This talk was delivered by Bill Wilder at the Vermont Code Camp 2 on 11-Sept-2010.

Deep Dive into AWS ECS and Spot Instances at ScalePahud Hsieh

This document summarizes a presentation about using Amazon ECS and Spot Instances at scale. It discusses the challenges of managing many EC2 instances for microservices and how ECS provides a fully managed container service with auto scaling and cost optimization using Spot Instances. Benefits of ECS include fully managed instances and containers, self-healing, auto scaling, and focus on code instead of infrastructure. ECS is preferable for CPU-bound tasks, long running processes, and internal microservices, while serverless is better for short tasks with limited resources and external APIs. ECS and serverless can also be combined for queue workers and async tasks.

Mashup! AWS Lambda, Elixir and IoT ButtonWojciech Gawroński

Serverless is coming. However, it transformed the IT landscape already. Advocates of that kind of solutions are claiming that those solutions are cost-efficient, less problematic to maintain (again - cheaper, smaller OPEX), and modern (we like those arguments in IT, don't we?). The truth is that there is a much more significant advantage of embracing serverless. Money is not everything, as there is at least one more precious resource: time. I want to present an interesting case study, how to significantly reduce time to market with using serverless powered by AWS ecosystem. As always, context is king, and when it comes to building an MVP, serverless provides a tremendous advantage in focusing on business value first. The goal of the talk is to show pitfalls and fallacies related to developing serverless applications but still delivering an MVP (minimum viable product) without sacrificing quality or further enhancements.

Amazon SageMaker in Practice - Workshop at Big Data Moscow 2018 (10.10.2018)Wojciech Gawroński

At re:Invent in 2017 Amazon announced new service – SageMaker, that allows you to build, train and deploy ML models at any scale. Sounds fantastic, but is it true? We challenged the marketing taglines and decided to test a specific use case which is familiar to us: ad targeting. During the workshop, which is an adventure itself, we build an approximation of an ad targeting system with the use of Amazon SageMaker – from development to deployment. We show how with use of such service you can start small and be pretty confident about scaling up and expanding the system later. We start from the ground up, so no worries – there is no need for previous experience with advertising systems and neither AWS, although general knowledge about machine learning or data crunching is a plus. If you were curious after the last year’s re Invent announcement, that is a workshop for you!

Functional Programming in the WildWojciech Gawroński

Recently functional programming gets a lot of traction. In most cases, arguments are related with distributed systems, also with increased and inherent concurrency. Maybe because of near end of Moore’s law, perhaps because of the new domains which are inherently parallel and distributed (IoT is just a single example). But it is nothing new under the sun (e.g., Lisp was invented almost 60 years ago). You cannot talk about that paradigm, in isolation – without real and concrete examples. I will do my best to present differences from the current state of the art for a demanding domain and its implementation in the form of a significant, distributed and concurrent system.

How to move a mission critical system to 4 AWS regions in one year?Wojciech Gawroński

A year ago our team was challenged to enhance the scope and scale of an existing platform, that is providing significant revenue for our client. As the designers and maintainers of that solution, we decided to leverage AWS cloud during that transition. In the presentation, I would like to discuss how we have tackled that migration - with the assumption that we had to move in a limited resource, hybrid cloud environment - working in close cooperation with teams responsible for other parts of the system. As I stated previously - it was a challenge - and I would like to talk what problems we have solved during that process. Also, what services we have leveraged to smooth the transition. And last, but not least - I would like to present how we have maintained the delivery pipeline, automation and massive pile of CloudFormation templates and why AWS Lambda is an excellent glue for any operational work you have to do in the cloud. Our hard work paid off. In October 2017 we have deployed our system into 4th AWS region. Bare with me during the talk, and you will learn how we achieved that

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

Functional Programming in Serverless World

1. Functional Programming in Serverless World

2. ~ # whoami (afronski) ✓ Co-founder and Functional Aficionado at Pattern Match Erlang, Elixir, Node.js AWS (3 certificates) ✓ Co-organizer of Functional Miners

4. What is serverless?

6. There are servers

7. There are ops

8. read.acloud.guru/iaas-paas-serverless-the-next-big-deal-in-cloud-computing

9. Serverless Back-end as a Service (BaaS) Function as a Service (FaaS)

10. Incoming Event Source Code Package Configuration Function (Execution Unit) RAM: 512 MB RAM: 512 MB 0.5 GB Real time: 120 ms Bill time: 200 ms (buckets by 100 ms) Price: 0.00001667 GB * seconds Cost: 0.00001667 * 0.5 GB * 0.2 s = 0.000001667 USD = 1.7 μUSD Response

11. Why serverless?

12. www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rbc/papers/fse-serverless-17.pdf Gojko Adzic - Designing for the Serverless Age (GOTO 2017)

13. Costs

14. Architecture [...] breaking the monolith into functions that could be independently deployed, meant that they were better able to split the team up to work on more things in parallel, and to deploy each feature separately.

15. Operations […] so their estimate is that moving to Lambda gave an operational cost reduction of greater than 95% for a comparable amount of compute.

17. Technology

20. Shims Using Node.js process API to spawn an executable Handling events reported by subprocess and passing results to the AWS Lambda handler Sending input arguments to the spawned subprocess

22. Measurements

23. Test Scenarios 1. Two endpoints: a. Echoing incoming body. b. Sieve of Eranthoses (naive implementation). 2. Package Size. 3. Memory Usage (dependent on input argument). 4. Execution Time (dependent on input argument). 5. Startup Time (cold start, no work done).

24. Measure predictability

27. "Situated" Programs (from Rich Hickey's keynote at Clojure/Conj 2017)

28. How long does AWS Lambda keep your idle functions around before a cold start? Serverless: Cold Start War

29. Constraints

30. Constraints 1. No knowledge about container and its reuse. 2. New approach requires new paths. 3. Limits everywhere! 4. Provider limitations. 5. VM optimizations required from the get go. 6. Beware the toolchain!

31. Summary

32. Safe and sane default: F# on Azure or AWS (.NET Core 2.0)

33. Tooling is King

34. Context is King

35. Thank you! Questions?

36. References 1. Our company - Pattern Match and my talks. 2. Functional Miners meet-up (facebook, twitter, github, email, website). 3. Serverless Architecture, Serverless (Martin Fowler’s articles). 4. AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions. 5. Container Reuse in AWS Lambda, Serverless: Cold Start War. 6. Running Executables in AWS Lambda. 7. Serverless Computing: Economic and Architectural Impact. 8. Why the JVM is a Good Choice for Serverless Computing. 9. Droplr Serverless Revolution. 10. Optimizing Enterprise Economics with Serverless. 11. Should I use AWS Lambda or EC2? 12. AWS Lambda support for .NET Core 2.0. 13. Repository with examples, scripts, and measurements.
