Five Ways to Scale your API Without Touching Your Code
Five Ways to Scale your API Without Touching Your Code3scale Five ways to scale an API without changing code:
1. Optimize API design by removing unnecessary methods and structuring methods to match use cases.
2. Add aggregate methods to reduce calls to base methods.
3. Implement rate limiting to reduce load and encourage efficient code.
4. Offboard caching and processing to clients to reduce server load.
5. Provide SDKs to encode best practices and optimize client code patterns.
Together these techniques can significantly improve scaling by managing load through changes to API structure and client behavior rather than requiring code changes.

FaaS or not to FaaS. Visible and invisible benefits of the Serverless paradig...Vadym Kazulkin When we talk about prices, we often only talk about Lambda costs. In our applications, however, we rarely use only Lambda. Usually we have other building blocks like API Gateway, data sources like SNS, SQS or Kinesis. We also store our data either in S3 or in serverless databases like DynamoDB or recently in Aurora Serverless. All of these AWS services have their own pricing models to look out for. In this talk, we will draw a complete picture of the total cost of ownership in serverless applications and present a decision-making list for determining if and whether to rely on serverless paradigm in your project. In doing so, we look at the cost aspects as well as other aspects such as understanding application lifecycle, software architecture, platform limitations, organizational knowledge and plattform and tooling maturity. We will also discuss current challenges adopting serverless such as lack of high latency ephemeral storage, unsufficient network performance and missing security features.

Serverless deployment is enabling the development of a new class of functional applications. Events will not only originate from classic applications, but from serverless functions themselves. Suddenly, applications are becoming distributed, composed of a stack of serverless functions. While serverless offers to eliminate server operations, developers must be prepared to manage their application lifecycle at the application layer.
We'll use open source tools to demonstrate function composition and serverless lifecycle management.

Stephen Liedig: Building Serverless Backends with AWS Lambda and API Gateway
Stephen Liedig: Building Serverless Backends with AWS Lambda and API GatewaySteve Androulakis Stephen Liedig (Amazon Web Services) is a Public Sector Solutions Architect at AWS working closely with local and state governments, educational institutions, and non-profit organisations across Australia and New Zealand to design, and deliver, highly secure, scalable, reliable and fault-tolerant architectures in the AWS Cloud while sharing best practices and current trends, with a specific focus on DevOps, messaging, and serverless technologies.
Einführung in RavenDB
Einführung in RavenDBNETUserGroupBern Bei all dem Hype rund um NoSQL übersieht man gerne wie viele einsatzbereite Produkte darauf warten unser Entwicklerleben zu vereinfachen. Eines dieser Produkte ist RavenDB, eine dokumentenorientierte Datenbank mit Transaktionsunterstützung. Im Gegensatz zu vielen NoSQL-Lösungen ist RavenDB voll in die .Net-Welt integriert. So kann man seine Abfragen mittels LINQ formulieren und muss nicht auf JavaScript setzen. Die grosse Erfahrung von Oren Eini bei der Optimierung von NHibernate und Entity Framework wurden in RavenDB aufgenommen. So hilft eine frühzeitige Erkennung von Select N+1 Abfragen spätere Probleme in der Produktion zu verhindern. Neben diesen Eigenheiten wird uns Johnny Graber auch zeigen was es alles für Einsatzmöglichkeiten gibt. Die Flexibilität von NoSQL gepaart mit der Einfachheit von RavenDB ist dabei keineswegs nur etwas für grosse Firmen wie Google, Facebook oder Twitter - der nächste Prototyp kann davon genauso gut profitieren.

Devops continuousintegration and deployment onaws puttingmoneybackintoyourmis...Emerson Eduardo Rodrigues Von Staffen DevOps, Continuous Integration & Deployment on AWS discusses practices for software development on AWS including DevOps, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. It provides an overview of AWS services that can be used at different stages of the software development lifecycle such as CodeCommit for source control, CodePipeline for release automation, and CodeDeploy for deployment. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) maintains its websites and services on AWS to support its annual writing challenge. It migrated to AWS to improve uptime and scalability. Its future goals include porting older sites to Rails, using Amazon SES for email, load balancing with ELB, implementing auto scaling, and using services like CodeDeploy, SNS

Tomasz Janczuk - WebtaskalifragilistexpialidociousServerlessConf Presented at ServerlessConf NYC2016.
The [webtask.io](https://webtask.io) microservice platform has been created and is used internally at [Auth0](https://auth0.com) to support multi-tenant SaaS extensibility through custom code, in cloud and on-premise. In this talk I will describe our journey from the driving scenario, the choice of a "better web hook" paradigm to address it, the architecture and design decisions we've made along with the mistakes and changes the system has undergone. I will also provide an insight into a security model that makes webtask.io platform uniquely suited to be used directly over HTTP from HTML5 or mobile apps. Docker, Node, ZeroMQ, Mongo, and more.

Charity Hound - Serverless, NoOps, The Tooth FairyServerlessConf Presented at ServerlessConf NYC2016.
A common misconception is that "serverless" development means you no longer have to think or care about operations. This could hardly be more false. You are trading one set of problems -- building and running backend services -- for another set, where you are dealing with a sprawling mess of APIs, black boxes and opaque complex systems into which you have limited visibility and even less ability to fix things, along with cotenancy issues and usage caps. The glorious future comes with tradeoffs, and this means application developers need to get better at ops.

A Cloud Guru is a completely serverless online learning platform that connects 50,000+ users in real-time, using AWS Lambda, Firebase and a huge array of 3rd party cloud services. We’ll tell the story of building a completely serverless company, and how this approach has literally fueled our business model, and enabled us to disrupt the training industry. We’ll explain the 5 principles you should following when adopting serverless architectures, and walk through real-world examples of each from our platform. Expect to hear about AWS Lambda, Firebase, Auth0, CloudSearch, Elastic Transcoder, S3, CloudFront CDN and lots of JavaScript!
Patrick Debois - From Serverless to Servicefull
Patrick Debois - From Serverless to ServicefullServerlessConf Presented at ServerlessConf NYC 2016.
It's great that we don't need to manage servers anymore and can just use a service. Let them worry about the availability. Endless capacity ftw.
Reality is that we are just entering another abstraction layer and the same problems need to be solved:
- what if the server goes down vs what if the service goes down
- how many servers do I need vs how many req/sec do I need ask Amazon to provision
- how do monitor my servers vs how do I monitor my service vs how do I monitor my functions
- how to control who gets access to my servers vs who can access my services
- how do I keep track of my server versions/dependencies vs how do I keep track of my functions versions/dependencies
A lot of the *-ilities revolve around trust. Trust in the system. And not just the technical side, also including the people side.
The promise of an API is not enough, it's the promise of a ecosystem of services.
It's only a small step from running a function on AWS Lambda vs using an external service.
Why run the function at all if someone is better at it? Because we have more 'control'?
In the presentation I will provide examples of real projects we did at Small Town Heroes (http://www.smalltownheroes.be) where we are leveraging the power of serverless. And how we try to expand our internal devops collaboration beyond the api boundaries to focus on the full stack service and not merely the components.

Frederic Lavigne and Stephen Fink - Serverless Video Processing with IBM Blue...ServerlessConf Presented at ServerlessConf NYC 2016.
Today's leading enterprise (mobile) applications are being composed of loosely coupled, cloud-based microservices, to provide powerful end-to-end capabilities that leverage the growing ecosystem of microservice providers. Events-on-demand technologies are driving a new level of simplicity and scalability in wiring these disparate microservices together, providing a distributed compute service to execute application logic in response to events, while hiding the complex infrastructure aspects. During this presentation we will show you how to build such (mobile) applications by leveraging the power of OpenWhisk, one of the newest players in the field of serverless computing, and hence by using event-driven technologies to compose and wire together microservice actions in response to events generated by humans and machines. Frederic Lavigne will first show how to play up dark data behind video: While video becomes more important as a digital media type, video data often remains dark to analytics. Frederic will demonstrate how to implement a serverless solution to unlock the value of video data. He will demonstrate an application that uploads video files or streams to the cloud, transcodes video data, extracts and passes frames through the Watson Image Recognition and the Alchemy Face Recognition services, and generates meta-data to use in categorizing the video data for searchability. After that Steve Fink will show a mobile weather application for iOS that allows to retrieve weather forecasts for a particular location.
