The document discusses the concepts and architectures of microservices and serverless computing, highlighting their definitions, attributes, and frameworks. It outlines how serverless microservices operate without the need for managing servers, focusing instead on code execution and resource efficiency. Additionally, the document includes examples of service architecture and considerations for application development using tools like AWS Lambda, Apigee, and serverless frameworks.

What's better than Microservices?
Serverless Microservices

2.  Definitions
 Sample Architecture
 Demo
 Decision Making Considerations
Agenda

3. "Microservices is a software architecture style in which
complex applications are composed of small, independent
processes communicating with each other using language-
agnostic APIs."
from Wikipedia
What is a Microservice?

4.  Event based
 API
 Discreet tasks/services/processes
 Independently scalable
Microservice Attributes

5. "…serverless computing is a cloud computing code execution
model in which the cloud provider fully manages starting
and stopping virtual machines as necessary to serve
requests, and requests are billed by an abstract measure of
the resources required to satisfy the request, rather than per
virtual machine, per hour."
from Wikipedia
What is Serverless?

6.  Code focused
 No servers to manage
 No EC2
 No manual scaling or server provisioning
 No idle resources
 No SSH (or RDP)
Serverless Attributes
EC2
SSH

9. Swagger Code Snippet

10. Swagger Controller

11.  Support for Node.js
 Also Serverless
 Focused on connectors & light-weight API orchestrations
Apigee Limitations
 Limited debugging & profiling
 Not polyglot
 Not recommended for complex business logic
 Not a generic event processor
Apigee Edge Proxies

14.  Supports all AWS Lambda languages
 Other public cloud providers coming soon
 Local function testing
 View function logs
 Resource dependencies via Cloudformation
 Complete service encapsulation
 Node based
 Never need the AWS Management Console or CLI
