Description:

Serverless systems are systems where servers need not be running and being maintained round the clock. The paradigm uses functions and the concept of containerization to spawn on-demand light-weight containers for executing a task, and safely destroying the server when the task is completed.

As this is a new domain, the practices and concepts of ensuring security and doing the logging and monitoring, are still mostly difficult and not-fully-solved problems.

This talk stresses upon the security part of serverless systems explaining the lessons learned and pitfalls experienced from building distributed, serverless systems.

[Will be using AWS-specific examples whenever a tool-related point arises. But, that should fairly generalize to other cloud providers too.]
