Simon Wardley, Leading Edge Forum | ServerlessConf 2018
summary
Maps of value chains show code execution moving from product to utility with examples: nuts and bolts ~2,000 years, electricity ~1,400 years, computing ~80 years, which implies using weak signals to time transitions. A historical internal platform called Zymkey proves function-based, stateless, metered execution is viable; Lambda accelerates adoption. Containers and Kubernetes sit below the execution layer as invisible infrastructure. Next steps are tooling to observe cost per function and capital flow and new practices that tie finance to refactoring.
