Ever been frustrated with a conference schedule app that freezes up when everyone opens it right after the first day’s keynotes? Ever played a mobile game that was so popular that its backend couldn’t keep up with real-time multiplayer interaction? If you’re an app developer, chances are that you’re looking for a better mobile backend architecture that can effectively match user demand at the exact moment it’s needed while taking advantage of new per-request cost models promised by serverless technologies.
The Apache OpenWhisk project (supported by IBM, Adobe, Red Hat, and others) provides a polyglot, autoscaling environment for deploying cloud-native applications driven by data, message, and REST API call events. Daniel Krook explains why serverless architectures are great for cloud workloads and when to consider OpenWhisk in particular for your next web, mobile, IoT, bot, or analytics project.

OpenWhisk is an open-source serverless platform ideally suited to a wide range of scenarios including cognitive, data, IoT, microservices, and mobile workloads. Since we presented OpenWhisk at ServerlessConf London a lot has happened. It has been successfully accepted as an Apache Incubator project and the first production OpenWhisk deployments have happened. From a technical point of view we have added capabilities like a better API Gateway integration and support for web actions, have added integrations with IBM App Connect, IBM Message Hub, and more. During this talk we will discuss our latest additions and illustrate how to benefit by “going” serverless with OpenWhisk by exploring some real-world customer usecases with a focus on how serverless architectures can be exploited in totally different scenarios. Using these usecases we will explain how OpenWhisk works and why it is the ideally platform for these emerging workloads. After the talk we will be looking forward to discussing your own usecases in more detail at our booth.

Abstract
There is a lot of debate whether to use Serverless or Kubernetes to build cloud-native apps. Both have their advantages and unique capabilities which developers should take into consideration when planning new projects. We will throw some light on the topics ease of use, maturity, types of scenarios, developer productivity and debugging, supported languages, DevOps and monitoring, performance, community and pricing. Cloud-native architectures shift the complexity from within an application to orchestrations of Microservices. Both Kubernetes and Serverless have their strengths which we will discuss. Besides the core development topics, developers should also understand operational aspects how complicated it is to maintain your own systems versus using managed platforms.

OpenWhisk - A platform for cloud native, serverless, event driven appsDaniel Krook
Cloud computing has recently evolved to enable developers to write cloud native applications better, faster, and cheaper using serverless technology.
OpenWhisk provides an open source platform to enable cloud native, serverless, event driven applications.
This presentation lays out the technical and business drivers behind the rise of serverless architectures, and provides an intro to the OpenWhisk open source project.

The CNCF point of view on Serverless
Presentation at Serverlessconf NYC on October 11, 2017.
https://nyc.serverlessconf.io/
The CNCF Serverless Working Group - with participation from IBM, AWS, Google, Huawei, Red Hat, VMware and many others - has been working on guidance to help end developers understand serverless computing. relative to other cloud-native deployment options such as container orchestration (for example, Kubernetes) and Platform-as-a-Service (for example, Cloud Foundry and OpenShift). A soon-to-be-published whitepaper aims to educate users about the right workloads for serverless, help them make sense of the landscape of service providers, and recommend open source projects for inclusion in the CNCF. In this lightning talk you'll hear about our work and learn how you can help steer serverless adoption and project support from the CNCF.
Serverless architectures are rapidly gaining interest from developers but it can be hard to understand when a serverless platform makes the most sense for their next application and how long a given provider might be around to support their apps. The CNCF aims to help users learn about serverless and support emerging open source projects that can run, debug, and monitor the next generation of cloud-native applications.
OpenWhisk Deep Dive: the action container modelPhilippe Suter
OpenWhisk supports actions written in JavaScript, Swift, Java and Python. In this talk, we explore the internals of OpenWhisk to learn how these actions are created, stored, and executed. We dive into the (internal) specification that makes supporting such a variety of runtimes feasible, and illustrate it by implementing, as a running example, support for a new language.
This material was first presented at the New York City Cloud Foundry Meetup http://www.meetup.com/nyc-cloud-foundry/events/231908970/
Supporting code is available from the branch https://github.com/psuter/openwhisk/tree/meetup-0721
The serverless movement represents a paradigm shift in our ability to create impressive, scalable web applications and services. Redesigning how triggers can generate and execute events can be an extremely cost-effective solution for microservices and large projects alike. Why serverless? It's less complex, scales easily, and usually costs less. The challenge today is that you may be creating these functions specific to a cloud vendor's API gateway, rather than creating the functions that are most reliable and useful.
In this session, you will learn how to create a cloud-agnostic serverless execution backend for your APIs. We will show you how to use Postman APIs with Nimbella’s tooling so you have cloud-agnostic runtime environment that can run in any cloud, including private infrastructure when required. If you are building scalable web applications that you want to deploy on any cloud or private cloud, this is a must-attend session.
Andreas Nauerz and Michael Behrendt - Event Driven and Serverless Programming...ServerlessConf
More than one year ago our team has, as a joint effort between research and development, started investigating the field of event-driven & serverless computing to propagate a model relieving users from the need to worry about complex infrastructural & operational aspects in order to allow them to focus on quickly developing value-adding code, especially by radically simplifying developing microservice-oriented solutions that decompose complex applications into small and independent modules that can be easily exchanged. Serverless computing does not refer to a specific technology. Nevertheless some promising solutions, such as OpenWhisk, have recently emerged. Hence, OpenWhisk is one player in this new field. It is a cloud-first distributed event-based programming service and represents an event-action platform that allows you to execute code in response to an event. It provides you with the previously mentioned serverless deployment and operations model, with a fair pricing model at any scale that provides you with exactly the resources – not more not less – you need and only charges you for code really running. It offers a flexible programming model. incl. support for languages like NodeJS and Swift and even for the execution of custom logic via docker containers. This allows small agile teams to reuse existing skills and to develop in a fit-for-purpose fashion. It also provides you with tools to declaratively chain together the building blocks you have developed. It is open and can run anywhere to avoid and kind of vendor lock-in. During this presentation, Michael Behrendt and Andreas Nauerz will talk about their journey through the world of serverless computing, the core concepts, the key value proposition and differentiators, typical usage scenarios, and the underlying programming model of serverless computing in general and OpenWhisk in particular and conclude their session with some basic demos.

How to build a Distributed Serverless Polyglot Microservices IoT Platform us...Animesh Singh
When people aren't talking about VMs and containers, they're talking about serverless architecture. Serverless is about no maintenance. It means you are not worried about low-level infrastructural and operational details. An event-driven serverless platform is a great use case for IoT.
In this session at @ThingsExpo, Animesh Singh, an STSM and Lead for IBM Cloud Platform and Infrastructure, detailed how to build a distributed serverless, polyglot, microservices framework using open source technologies like:
OpenWhisk: Open source distributed compute service to execute application logic in response to events
Docker: To run event driven actions 6. Ansible and BOSH: to deploy the serverless platform
MQTT: Messaging protocol for IoT
Node-RED: Tool to wire IoT together
Consul: Tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Kafka: A high-throughput distributed messaging system.

# Get into Open Source! How to start or do more in the OSS community
In this talk, we will go over the many ways in which you---YES YOU!---can get involved with open source. Whether you are highly technical or not technical at all, there are many ways to contribute to the open source community through: code contributions, issue triage, project management, communications, community relations, design, writing, testing, documentation, integrations, and more!. The more people involved the better, so let's destroy all barriers to entry, establish some on-ramps and hit the road!
This talk is not just cheerleading. We will go over real examples and real entry points for becoming a valuable contributor to the open source community.
Acme Freight: Developing Microservices and APIs on BluemixJoe Sepi
Developing microservices based applications is particularly effective for many reasons, especially when utilizing the Bluemix platform. This architecture allows developers to choose the most ideal technology for each microservice within an application. In addition to being a polyglot platform supporting multiple languages, Bluemix also offers a number of compute options such as OpenWhisk and Cloud Foundry.
The OpenWhisk compute platform on Bluemix allows developers to quickly create serverless functions that can be executed by specific triggers or even just a simple REST call. They scale on-demand and you only ever pay for usage. The Cloud Foundry option offers a more standard application hosting platform for your microservices.
Join developer evangelists Joe Sepi and Sai Vennam from the API Connect team who’ll walk through Acme Freight, a best-practice sample application with a technology stack based entirely in Bluemix. Learn about how OpenWhisk, Cloud Foundry, API Connect, Node.js and more come together to create this robust demo application that could potentially disrupt the Logistics industry.
Let's take a look at how APIs could transform our world and then dive into how you can start on that journey today with the amazing and magical, open-source tool LoopBack. We will literally get an API up and running in 73 seconds†. We'll then slow down a little and look at what you can do with that API and some of the other cool things IBM has to offer in this space. Whether you are a developer building the next Twilio or a product manager at the next cat app, you will walk away from this talk reinvigorated to take on this world. And you will be equipped with the tools to take it over.

Front End Dependency Management at CascadiaJSJoe Sepi
There have been many heated debates about how you should structure and manage your JavaScript code; specifically what module pattern to use: RequireJS or CommonJS. One's allegiance is usually determined by environment variables -- Node or the browser. As the front end world goes barreling into the future, this distinction is beginning to get blurry. Let's take an objective look at the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and have a healthy conversation as to why you would choose one over the other. Let's hug it out. Won't you join me?

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
