Serverless is a recent addition to the long list of technologies that promise to accelerate software delivery, reduce cost of compute ownership and provide unicorns and rainbows for all. And like all industry buzzwords it generates enthusiasm and scepticism in equal measure – how to move beyond the hype?

ServerlessDays started life as JeffConf, a tongue in cheek conference in the spirit of Paul Johnston’s blog post, “Serverless is just a name. We could have called it Jeff”, an attempt to move beyond the Serverless buzzword and focus on the practical use of function as a service platforms and the value they provide. It is a one day, community focused, single track event centred on real world Serverless based solutions. It’s about fostering a community and helping all of us learn from each other as we embrace a new way of building applications.

What are we looking for?

• Tell us about your serverless learning journey!
• Experience with serverless architectures in production and under load?
• Serverless promises to lower the total cost of ownership: what are real-world experiences?
• Serverless vs. vendor lock-in: experiences with company politics and/or real-world problems, and strategies to overcome resistance?
• Are you doing something genuinely cool? Tell us about it? Let’s have some fun with this!

If you are a first-time speaker, unsure of your proposal, or want to receive some feedback, send an email to mentoring@serverlessdays.io and we will help you out in whatever way we can.
