State of Serverless
summary
CNCF runs a serverless working group that produced a white paper and a public Google Doc inventory of platforms and tools, and is prioritizing open events as an interoperable event envelope to improve portability. The talk contrasts FaaS time limits (AWS ~5 minutes) and the break-even cost example of Coca‑Cola using Lambda for vending, notes startup fixes like OpenWhisk pause to reduce cold starts, and flags the unresolved zero cost debate between developer-facing serverless and provider/operator perspectives.
