The Serverless and Event-Driven Future
summary
Announces a concrete format and ecosystem rather than theory: CloudEvents 0.1 JSON envelope standardizes event metadata (type, id, source, schema, extensions, data) and plans HTTP/MQTT/AMQP bindings; a demo converts native S3 and Azure Blob events to CloudEvents, broadcasts them via an Event Gateway (open source) to ~15 functions across AWS, Google, IBM, Azure and multiple open‑source platforms, runs seven image recognition services and posts results to Twitter — the demo mostly succeeds and Azure Event Grid already offers first‑class CloudEvents support.
