Tracing the stories behind the rise of serverless

Serverless isn’t just about the technology. It’s the narrative of how it's impacting our daily lives as developers and users.

“People argue passionately over the definition of serverless and what technology is and isn’t serverless, but it doesn’t matter what a technology is, only what it does.”

– Ben Kehoe, Cloud Robotics Research Scientist at iRobot, AWS Community Hero.

With this in mind, The ServerlessTalk Podcast is a chance for the developer community to trace the stories behind the rise of serverless.

The people. The challenges. The passion.

Although the show is produced by IOpipe, the goal is to be vendor-agnostic and present a variety of views, so don’t hesitate to reach out (even if you see us as competitor).
