Keynote: Serverless, Not So FaaS

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Argues that serverless needs a common event envelope not just FaaS and shows a working prototype: a draft CloudEvents envelope, an open‑source event gateway that receives S3 notifications and rewrites them into CloudEvents, HTTP-registered endpoints treated as functions, and cross‑cloud auth via OIDC so AWS can let a GCP function read S3. Claims reduce vendor lock‑in, demo translates an uploaded text file across clouds, and the live demo successfully completes the round trip.
