Lessons Learnt from Maintaining Serverless Applications - Niall Keys - NIDC 2024 - Hall 1B

It’s easy to find sprint zero experiences of Serverless but what does maintenance mode look like in a Serverless application? How can we ensure our deployed workloads continue to operate for the years or decades to come? Does the distributed nature of these applications make observability impossible? Or what about when your application's load increase, but you didn't fully account for some of the AWS Service Quotas during the design phase? In this talk, I’ll share some of my experiences working on a feature complete application of this kind, leaving you certain that Serverless architecture continues to live up to the hype, despite the potential unforeseen complexities of maintainability. - Recorded in Hall 1B of The ICC Belfast, Northern Ireland NIDC 2024 - Saturday, 23rd November 2024
