The document introduces serverless architecture, emphasizing its efficiency and abstraction that allows developers to focus on business value without the need to manage servers or scale operations. It outlines the principles of serverless design, including zero base cost, automatic scaling, and event-driven architecture, and highlights a successful use case where serverless technology outperformed traditional systems. The author, Mattias Andersson, provides resources for further learning and community engagement in the serverless domain.

- 4. Hard Problems in Computing Science
- 5. Hard Problems in Distributed Systems
- 6. Hard Problems in Software Business 1. Profit 2. Cash Flow (Definitely an oversimplification)
- 7. Abstractions From To Bartering Currency Cutting down trees Consistent, milled lumber Soldering logic gates Microprocessors Writing machine language in binary Compilers/Interpreters Writing to specific hardware Interacting with abstracted hardware Writing all the code Using libraries and frameworks Building data centres Cloud Managing servers Serverless
- 8. What is Serverless? • Inevitable better abstraction, because it offers… • A more efficient way to build systems and focus on business value
- 9. What is Serverless? • A service or system where you never have to think about servers. • Not in interactions • Not in management • Not in scaling • Not in cost
- 10. Where are your servers? • In the closet • In the data centre • In the colo facility • In the cloud • In the service • Not my servers, anymore • Hence serverless
- 11. My Rules of Serverless • Zero base cost • Linear scaling • Infinite scaling • Continuous/granular scaling • Automatic scaling • Managed
- 12. Serverless Designs • Event-driven • Stateless
- 13. What can Serverless do?

- 16. Government Census Site? “Austin Wilshire and Bernd Hartzer received world-wide attention in August when they built an alternative Australian Bureau of Statistics Census website for $10 million less than the Australian government. “The kicker? The official ABS site crashed almost immediately after launching. Whereas, the site created by Austin and Bernd at a weekend hack-a-thon remained stable because it was built using serverless architecture. It also cost less than $500 compared to the government’s $10 million price tag.” — https://serverless.com/blog/building-a-better-australian-census-site/
