Building big business value by using small Lambdas
Serverless is not just a technology – it is a new way of thinking about delivering business value. It puts us deeply into the world where compute and IT platform in general are utilities; a world where we can make granular decisions about how to invest and what returns to expect. It eliminates waste (unused server capacity, for example) and makes it easier for DevOps teams to take ownership of costs and returns as well as the usual technical performance characteristics. In this talk I will discuss how serverless lets us think differently about IT investments and the delivery of business value.

Visualizing Serverless Cloud Systems
Cloud-native systems increasingly integrate services, or functions. Microservices and serverless patterns produce many small parts. See how effective visualization matters in solution design and implementation. Understand emergent visualization by example. See future directions around dynamic distributed system visualizations.

Taking Serverless to the Next Level
Moving to serverless brings more benefits if you can optimize the way you work. In this session, I share best practices on different areas, from infrastructure management to deployments, distributed architectures and the role of teams, focusing on people and processes that are at the core of software development. To support our findings, we’ll review customer case studies to see what they did, why, and which benefits they got most.

In 2015, Rainer also became a Microsoft Regional Director. 2016, Rainer also got the MVP award for Visual Studio and Developer Technologies.
Serverless Functions in the Azure Cloud
Ten years ago, Azure started with a strong focus on PaaS. No wonder that Serverless has also become super important in Microsoft’s cloud recently. Rainer Stropek has been using Azure since the days of the first technical previews. In this session, Rainer will introduce you to Azure Functions, one of the Serverless offerings in Azure. Instead of speaking about theory, Rainer will walk you through an end-to-end sample and use it to describe the inner workings of Azure Function’s programming model. No slides, just code, a session for Microservice developers who want to know how things work and how they can benefit from Azure in practice.

V8, Web Assembly, and Serverless-- a new way of thinking about edge computing
Let’s chat about our approach to serverless: how using the V8 engine and running user functions in isolates decreases overhead and eliminates cold starts. Let’s talk about how we leverage JS APIs and features like WebAssembly to allow you to run the code you need, where you need it.
