Keynote: How organizations are integrating serverless into their workflows and where improvements can be made
Over the last several years, serverless has gained a tremendous amount of traction among organizations large and small. From the scrappy, one-person startup, to the Fortune 500 enterprise, serverless has changed the way developers are building, deploying, and maintaining their applications. However, the rapid speed of that change has left most of them with a patchwork of tools, frameworks, and practices. At best, this is suboptimal, and at worst, it's completely unsustainable. In this talk, we'll look at how organizations are integrating serverless into their workflows and discuss where improvements can be made to tooling, CI/CD, and other processes to optimize developer productivity and dramatically reduce time-to-value (TTV) and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Keynote: Serverless Platforms: Tradeoffs and Consequences
We outline the technology history, engineering tradeoffs, and consequences for product offerings in Google's 15+ year history of Serverless compute products.

Keynote: Productivity gains across each area of the application lifecycle with using serverless technologies
Serverless is most often seen as a way to host applications in a managed infrastructure so that it can scale based on need while enabling teams to focus more on the application. In this presentation, we will discuss how each part of the application lifecycle is improved by leveraging serverless from development, deployment, monitoring, security, disaster recovery, governance, and general management. This discussion will be most useful for development and operations teams who want to leverage serverless and understand the benefits & challenges at each stage in the application life cycle. Examples given here will be based on Azure Functions but should be applicable to all serverless environments.
Eamon O’Reilly
Lead program manager on Azure Functions
Worked in multiple teams in Microsoft building commercial products for operations and developer teams. These include Windows, System Center, Azure Automation, and currently Azure Functions. Focused on building serverless platforms that can run in any environment while delivering the productivity gains for developers and operations teams.
