  1. Container deployments 1. Platform (e.g. Kubernetes) 2. Application (e.g. Cloud

    Foundry) 3. Serverless (e.g. OpenWhisk) Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  2. Serverless? The first thing to know about serverless computing is

    that "serverless" is a pretty bad name to call it. - Brandon Butler, Network World Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  3. AKA: Functions as a Service • A runtime to execute

    your functions • No capacity planning or load balancing; just tasks being executed. • Pay for execution, not when idle Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  4. Use-cases Synchronous Service is invoked and provides immediate response (HTTP

    requests: APIs, chat bots) Asynchronous Push a message which drives an action later (web hooks, timed events, database changes) Streaming Continuous data flow to be processed Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  5. Benefits • No need to think about servers • Concentrate

    on application code • Pay only for what you use, when you use it • Language agnostic: NodeJS, Swift, Python, Java, C#, etc Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  6. Challenges • Start up latency • Time limit • State

    is external • DevOps is still a thing Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  7. When should you use serverless? • Occasional server needs on

    a static site • Variable traffic levels • Additional compute without extending current platform • Responding to web hooks Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  8. OpenWhisk OpenSource; multiple providers: IBM RedHat Adobe (for Adobe Cloud

    Platform APIs) &, of course, self-hosted Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  9. Running your action $ wsk action update hello hello.php ok:

    updated action hello $ wsk action invoke hello --result { "msg": "Hello World" } Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  10. Dependencies Zip them up $ zip -r hello.zip hello.php vendor

    $ wsk action update hello hello.zip --kind php:7.1 Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  11. Web access Add the --web flag: $ wsk action update

    hello hello.php --web true $ curl https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/api/v1/web/ \ 19FT_demo/default/hello.json Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
  12. What to do in your action • Compute! • Store

    to database • Make API calls to other services • Store to cloud storage (S3) • Trigger other actions Rob Allen ~ @akrabat
