Serverless simplifies development and deployment, but typically also comes with low performance, usability and observability challenges as well as cloud lock-ins. Nuclio, a trending open-source serverless platform addresses first-generation limitations, is 100x faster than AWS Lambda and can be deployed in any cloud, datacenter or on your laptop (with Docker or Kubernetes). Yaron Haviv will go over the drawbacks of first generation serverless architectures and will explain how to overcome them with Nuclio’s unique architecture and features. The session will include a live demo showing how to write and manage a fast serverless app from scratch.
