Going Serverless

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Teams report concrete wins and limits: BBC runs ~2.5 billion Lambda executions/month and used serverless for label extraction of ~200 new iPlayer episodes/day but rewrites the workflow when updates went stale; K15T runs production functions for JIRA webhook spikes of thousands of invocations in seconds for two years; Walmart builds an agnostic platform using OpenFaaS/Knative across clouds. Common problems: cost thresholds, need for Zipkin/Jaeger tracing, vendor lock‑in, Lambda@Edge and API Gateway for latency, and custom tooling to pull logs and deploy functions.
