Less code is better. Serverless services have ways to enable you to remove more code than traditional architectures. The use of managed services reduces the amount of boiler plate code that does not directly adds value to your application while retaining the possibility to write full custom code where it’s needed most.

Serverless real value is not within well-known compute services, but rather in side-car managed services, handling task usually handled by non-ephemeral compute environment.

What you will know after this talk

When to rely properly on custom code, and when not to use compute services, depicted through the famous AWS serverless magic triptych: API Gateway - Lambda - DynamoDB
Added benefits from going functionless - Cost, Performance and Throttling
How to improve your developer experience while working in a functionless ecosystem

I never had the chance to give this talk yet, but would love the opportunity to give it a try!

This talk is based on the article I wrote, Serverless can benefit from not being so Lambda-centric.
