Serverless is not just about the Tech:

Serverless is New Agile & Mindset
#1 Serverless Dev
(Back-end FaaS dev, but
turned into gluing APIs
and Managed Services)
#2 We're obsessed to
creating business value
(meaningful MVPs,
Products), to empower
Business users
#3 We build bridges

Community (“Dev leg”),

working smarter (by
using bigger building
blocks and less Ops)
