The Serverless Landscape and Event Driven Futures
summary
CNCF organizes a Serverless Working Group and publishes a serverless landscape listing hundreds of projects; CloudEvents becomes the proposed spec to standardize event metadata across clouds. AWS Lambda handles about 500 billion validations per day and helped FINRA cut average validation latency from ~3 minutes to ~1 minute. Work targets running functions on lighter VMMs: Firecracker microVM boots in ~100–125 ms with <5 MB footprint and is being adopted by Lambda and Fargate; CloudEvents spec links functions, containers, and event sources.
