Keynote: We Are Drowning in Complexity. Can We Do Better?
summary
Cloud infrastructure is powerful but has exploded into an integration nightmare and function-as-a-service (Lambda) only solves part of it. The claim is that developers should only define API definition, domain data, business logic and let a vertically integrated managed platform handle Kubernetes, databases, caches, event brokers, ingress and scaling. A product called Calyx is presented as that platform: polyglot, reactive, running on Kubernetes and managed services, available now at calyx.io, with the claim that it removes the integration burden and improves predictability and cost.
