Serverless Functions is a great tool, meant to be easy to use, however tricky to build.
It is one thing to make a quick, self-hosted Serverless PoC service, but when it comes to scaling it to serve thousands of requests daily, and sharing it among thousands of customers, it is a different story.
In 2019, when we decided to build our Serverless products, we were quickly able to leverage existing technology like the newly released Knative to create a stable PoC API that enabled us to deploy Serverless Containers. However, industrialization took far more time. Available components were not able to meet all our needs, especially when it came to multi-tenancy, scalability, and reliability. During our journey to build an industrial product, we tried several combinations, pushed some components to their limits, contributed to some components, and even built some of our own. Join this session to learn about how we overcame these challenges and all about how we built our industrial Serverless offering.
