Title:

Pragmatic Middleware for Scaling – Towards Serverless Microfunctions

Abstract:

Middleware is the glue that connects user interfaces to backend systems and services.

The different architectural philosophies range from big monoliths, that are hard to maintain, to micro services, which are challenging to orchestrate. But can we have the best of two worlds without their drawbacks?

In this talk, I will illustrate how we implemented micro-monoliths, which run as serverless functions in the cloud.
