Hello... I work on the Flows product at Postman. Love this question. I believe wholly that the definition of a developer is rapidly changing (arguably has already changed). It's clear that it won't mean people who are "classi

Serverless computing is the future of cloud computing with more and more infrastructure management shifted to the provider rather than internal infra and ops teams. It isn't to say it's all or nothing, and it is a long enduring tr

I shared a few details above - with the implementation backed by a mature open source project, there are lots of details available already. Thanks for bringing this up though so we can focus on the parts of interest to the community as we r

OpenWhisk functions are vendor agnostic and have a generic signature of JSON in and JSON out and no other dependencies. Functions on DigitalOcean may also run functions from Netlify and AWS Lambda (and vice versa). You can run the same func

The code for the functions is vendor agnostic. Vendor lock-in comes from the integrations the code that runs in the cloud ends up consuming, and the developer experience one acquires. The nature of cloud development is that one invariably b

Functions through app platform are fully managed and deployed with zero downtime and offer roll backs as well. Deployments from the CLI are fast enough you can enable watch-mode and continuously deploy as you code in your IDE. Cold starts d

I watched the youtube videos of all the battles so far and I was really surprised to see that a very simple strategy (in retrospect) was sufficient to win the competitions. I've been waiting to see if someone implements an AI bot that&

It's great to see so many functions platform - in some ways it shows there's increasing interest, awareness, and adoption. The field is still quite young and there will be a lot of experimentation and exploration. There's als

It remains to be seen if the abstraction that Kubernetes adds to manager containers will have performance characteristics that serverless demands - considering the need for container reuse, reclamation, pause/unpause, and elastic scali

OpenWhisk actions (equivalent to functions in other frameworks) have two life cycle events: initialization and execution. The very first activation of an action (a cold start), will initiate both events. Future activations of the action, if
