-- Presented in Serverless Summit 2017 - www.inserverless.com -- The earlier sessions at this conference covered development scenarios & operations, frameworks/platforms, and technology applications. In this session, I'll tie them together to provide a perspective on architectures and patterns for serverless. I'll cover how serverless compute can be used as glue or backend, legacy API proxy, or do real-time processing. Further, I'll discuss how serverless can be employed for web applications, batch processing, stream processing and event-driven automation, at a high level.
