What is Serverless?

[@markganus1085]

Serverless computing enables developers to build applications faster by eliminating the need for them to manage infrastructure. With serverless applications, the cloud service provider automatically provisions, scales, and manages the infrastructure required to run the code. In understanding the definition of serverless computing, it’s important to note that servers are still running the code. The serverless name comes from the fact that the tasks associated with infrastructure provisioning and management are invisible to the developer. This approach enables developers to increase their focus on the business logic and deliver more value to the core of the business. Serverless computing helps teams increase their productivity and bring products to market faster, and it allows organizations to better optimize resources and stay focused on innovation.

[@nidhi8775]

Thanks alot of this😇it really helped me

[@Drew-np9mr]

This is a very clear and concise way to put it, thank you

[@thiago-dias25]

It should be called devopsLESS then haha

[@yantic7491]

Thanks helped me a lot

[@T3chnocr4t]

❤

[@RiccardoSolimena]

it was impossible to me to explain in less than 30 minutes and you did better of any expectation in 6 minutes. Chapeau. Congrats

[@medilies]

Im so happy that I clicked to watch this

[@Himanshubishnoi-td3nh]

this guys personality is radiating clarity , thank you for the explanation

[@pjf7044]

Serverless is great but I think it’s awesome to set up everything from bare metal yourself. I think it definitely helps in terms of understanding the full stack from front to back!!

[@prashanthb6521]

I think the same too but I think there are enough positives to move from baremetal to serverless.

[@IT-Entrepreneur]

I love the step between. I spin up my virtual servers by ci/cd pipeline with terraform and ansible and deploy a prebuild docker image as container. I consider switching to serverless, but i still dont know how to handle "file data like image uploads" and database migrations. still learning serverless :D

[@IBITZEE]

dude... what a fine/simple/concise/consciencious explanation... you are really a clever guy... thanks!

[@snekkyjek]

Thanks for taking the time to explain adjacent architectural concepts! This is a great video!

[@IBMTechnology]

Thanks for the appreciation, Jack, and thanks for watching! 👍

[@AlainAirom]

Very precise and yet short presentation in 6 minutes, great!

[@VitoPeroronccino]

Thank you for this, you explained serverless / FAAS simply and very understandable. Imagine, in 6 minutes i learned it from you without any interactions!

[@Aramis7]

I found the whole cloud series very useful and to the point. Well done

[@dr.sanjaynegi2750]

IBM cloud sessions r bang on...crisp..to the point and very well articulated .

[@RockyRxx]

Best explanation available on the net.. To the point and easy to understand. Thanks a lot

[@LeeHiago]

this video is gold. Thank you for the clearest explanation ever.

[@winsonjacob3554]

Hey Ashher, I loved your style of explaining concepts. Keep it up and create more such videos!

[@alexanderzharkov6953]

Impressive introduction. I had no experience before with serveless, and I feel I finally started to getting it

[@リンゴ酢-b8g]

What is serverless computing? Like PaaS, serverless computing enables developers to build applications faster by eliminating the need for them to manage infrastructure. With serverless applications, the cloud service provider automatically provisions, scales, and manages the infrastructure required to run the code. Serverless architectures are highly scalable and event-driven, only using resources when a specific function or trigger occurs. It's important to note that servers are still running the code. The “serverless” name comes from the fact that the tasks associated with infrastructure provisioning and management are invisible to the developer. This approach enables developers to increase their focus on the business logic, and deliver more value to the core of the business. Serverless computing helps teams increase their productivity and bring products to market faster, and it allows organizations to better optimize resources and stay focused on innovation.

[@autoheadroy1140]

Excellent presentation! Thank you so much for stating all the advantages of Serverless computing!

[@TheKosenrufu]

very well explained Ashher, thank you. you were able to break this concept in small data points, easy to relate to.

[@ImranChaudhry]

Clear and concise explanation with excellent use of diagrams. Well done Asher!

[@charlesopuoro5295]

Man, you have successfully imparted knowledge. Thank you for this video.

[@sivavogeti9889]

Well presented. It is now clear what Serverless computing means. Previously I was surely in a fix. But now it is clear. Thank you.

[@Antares070]

Awesome explanation of a difficult concept in so little time. Congrats man!.

[@mubafaw]

Very crisp and clear explanation thanks 😊👍

[@severtone263]

Very clear and articulate explanation

[@nazari_co]

Thank you so much your explanations was clear as crystal

[@jitrammaharjan9506]

Simple and clear concept thank you for this video

[@IBMTechnology]

You're welcome, Jitram! Happy you found it useful! 🙂

[@lifeandthoughts8317]

He spks so well

[@MrYtkrishna]

Impressed with the graphics 👍

[@gabrielstorm3536]

Good job Ashher

[@anilgandhi]

Excellent presentation style and content is awesome as well. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge

[@bawonos024]

Thanks for the brief explanation

[@kubo-svk790]

For me personally as a developer is better to know the server architecture, from load balancers, WAFs, firewalls, etc... to nginx and gunicorn at the end (I am working with python) networks are in my field of interest and some security measures can be done before my business logic. Which makes the code simpler I some cases. We are using openshift for deployment but developers have track about whole architecture before that.

[@kaadi007]

would be great if it included disadvantages

[@andresromerodev]

These videos are the best!

[@RdozeTV]

The best explanation

[@alexeydavydov4621]

After watching this video I understood everything except what is serverless

[@6735212]

Wonderfully explained!

[@lholhofox]

Amazing!!! thank you for this video!!

[@renegat-rm]

Очень доходчиво и без воды! Спасибо!

[@jp_ct]

Very well explained! Thank you!

[@subtleashtheimmortal]

Terrific job thanks 🙏🏼!

[@lealdossantos2861]

Very good video, thank you

[@pbarganski]

Oberall, a good little video with pros of Serverless deployments but missing the cons/downsides.

[@mounikakulkarni6389]

Awesome explanation.

[@neha73510]

Great information!!

[@robertkerr229]

Doesn't talk about serverless for first 3 minutes of 6 minute video. Could be better by being on-topic. Keep them coming.

[@nk-thn]

Hi. Thanks for the information. Serverless seems like a nice fit for my side project because it gets rid of all the chores of server/containers management... , but I just wonder is there any significant drawback that has to be considered before using one?

[@யாழ்குறும்பு]

Very effective teach

[@shayaankhatri4878]

Superb video!

[@decentnation]

Nice explanation !

[@nyomansunima]

I feel that serverless I kinda amazing. However, sometimes the cold start can take a bit longer. Alsothe their situationnthat somee library and featuresdon'tt support and can be running on serverless. In my opinion, edge is the best option for it. However, so many limitations to consider, even for your backend.

[@akhilk5121]

Will it make sense to go serverless for a batch job which runs for 2 mins daily. How the cost comparison works? Anyone could point to a good resource?

[@vdpoortensamyn]

You may want to check out IBM Cloud Engine to automate most of your work and you simply test to see what infrastructure is required to run your batch.

[@OscarAlmgren]

Most Cloud providers (should) have some sort of cost calculator available so that you can make an A vs B estimate for comparison. Otherwise you can always look up the particular "serverless service" price and throw those numbers in a spreadsheet and compare them to say a lightweight Docker container running 24/7.

[@zaherhh83]

Very informative. What is the name of the system or the setup you use to do these videos?

[@sarangpadhye3980]

As for pay for execution, Will the storage be charged for the entire time or only for the transactions? And as a beginner in cloud finding these videos very informative👍

[@manishrawat4u]

A lot of folks completely misunderstood the term server less and just behind this word blindly like anything. Is this even a better option to convert or start a new aspnet application with serverless?

[@ianjharris]

It'd be pretty to cool to work with IBM.

[@sujithtumma6754]

Woww!!😃. Loved it

[@Hmmmmmmmm320]

super concise. Do you have a tablet setup for "whiteboarding"?

[@zeynepozer6965]

Thank you!

[@mikiallen7733]

Always highly available as you have clearly explained it , but is this high availability still not compromised in case of highly demanding applications (i.e real time performance of say data being streamed on line and many clients can create events simultaneously) an example comes to mind like crypto trading app or weather predictions app , your input is highly appreciated

[@gaurimandot5788]

Just curious, what is the name of the board? How it is working??

[@IBMTechnology]

See ibm.biz/write-backwards

[@vinitsunita]

Can FAAS model be integrated with api gateway? We want to trigger function when request comes from user

[@lonewolfcoding5208]

are serverless expose the code and not api keys right?

[@limenpepper]

How were you writing directly on the fourth wall?

[@limenpepper]

Uh.. I just realised how. You are probably using some sort of digital black/whiteboard and then flipped the video recording. ... But then how did you video record half of your body?

[@soumyaripan5131]

Thanks

[@aileenhuang6099]

Thank you very much!

[@kienphan6436]

Thank you

[@chandrashekars9855]

Thank you.

[@michellepura2849]

What is BM again that you said at 1:04 ?

[@arnabpoddar6236]

Bare Metal

[@madhu_parimi]

Thanks IBM

[@vskovzgird]

It is a mistake. You don improve your time to market. You just move it to another type of infrastructure. If you are in a public cloud you already have better TTM comparing to self-managed clouds.

[@kdamato5733]

The Most impressive thing about this video is the dude is writing in reverse. How the f....

[@cyntox]

I think they just mirrored the video

[@frankh.5378]

They right it normally and flips the video.

[@suryaprakashm1886]

Tuts : How can you make a tutorial with your face and board being present. ?? IBMer: Simple, use a transparent board and write inverted english !

[@dramatictoons9303]

I knew they are writing inverted!

[@Oldmanlogan2x]

Best wishes from Oldmanlogan2x KZbin Channel

[@Arkata]

Isn't this the same as PAAS??? Or am I tripping??

[@dyingforcodefrfr]

how did u write backwards

[@no.no.4680]

Flip the video after recording

[@TAKcomps]

I just wonder that he mirror-writes the whole time?

[@faradaymarkets]

right? is it even a physical board? is it digital? is he writing on a actual mirror and they cropped the camera out? so many questions, I can't even focus on the content haha

[@ChinhNguyen2k3]

@@faradaymarkets it's a transparent board. After that the whole video is flipped vertically

[@nerdshala2997]

Why still people go with anything other than serverless architecture?

[@coolcodingcat]

Costs?

[@oguzhantt]

Any real World example :)? Clicking button And saving it to db doesn’t make any sense:)

[@nadeemmumtaz1948]

It is not obvious that serverless is without a server?

[@chawlagrv]

yes, its runs on the cloud

[@sumanbyrisetty4387]

Its good

[@yizhu2985]

unfortunately, serverless always available is not true

[@towfiqa]

Where is Sai????

[@wiepcorbier]

Serverless is a service on a server.

[@aadityakiran_s]

Nice 2 years late to the hype train I am though.

[@existantf21]

the more severs u add the more serverless you become

[@samarendrakumarsinha8898]

mostly sd-wan

[@Ninja_bit]

more money to pay

[@ed0985587]

Who comes up with these silly names for this stuff. “Serverless”, although it uses servers lol! Maybe serverless from the customer point of view, but everything runs on some sort of compute infrastructure aka servers..

[@BrunzarC40]

Funcsions

[@dhruvpatel138]

so bad way to explain something need. go with the simple way total waste of time

[@ernesttan8090]

Thank you!

[@miguelcrtz]

thank you
