As a serverless advocate I often recommend a serverless-first approach to software and in this talk I will go in-depth on what that means. Together we’ll review the big questions I often receive: who should use serverless, what does serverless-first mean, when should we consider alternatives, why is this my recommendation, and how can we get started?

Drawing from a decade of serverless and cloud-native experience I’ll answer these questions while sharing my perspective on serverless design and architectural decisions. You’ll leave this talk with a new understanding of how Serverless Architecture can best fit into your organization, and you’ll be equipped to get started with an Architecture Decision Record.
