Serverless Microservices through Serverless Framework
Microservices using serverless technologies are popular for many great reasons. The benefits of using serverless technologies to handle scale and segregation of concerns are tremendous. Serverless Framework is a great way to manage you serverless apps and infrastructure and make it easy to prevent vendor lock-in. In this session we will look at using Serverless Framework to build microservices on both AWS and Azure and design patterns to consider along the way to make it easy to scale your code.
Azure Serverless Functions
Serverless functions are extremely popular for a lot of great reasons. They can be cheap. They can scale. You can literally write a function and deploy it in seconds. In this talk we will take a look at Azure Functions and how you can best utilize them to accomplish your workflows. We will answer questions such as: How do I minimize cold starts? and When should I use Durable Functions? We will also do some compare and contrast with AWS Lambda to see how the two platforms differ and how that might affect your approach to solving problems.
What Time Is It Anyway?
Handling date and time in our applications can be a complex task with many nuances. How should we handle date time? Should we store local time zone or UTC? Should we store dates and times separately? Should we use Unix time? These are all valid questions and there isn't always a one-size-fits-all solution. In this talk we will take a look at the challenges that date and time present to us, the different scenarios we might run into, and how we might solve them in our applications. We will look at the pros and cons of different approaches and see which approach might be best in various circumstances.
