The Road to Serverless: Functions as Applications
summary
Spring Cloud Function proves a concrete path: write business logic as Java java.util.function Function/Consumer/Supplier beans, run them locally on Spring Boot, or repackage to deploy to AWS Lambda and other providers. Demo shows HTTP and RabbitMQ stream adapters working end-to-end, Flux/Mono support for infinite streams, and a classloader-based hot-deploy model plus a thin launcher to swap code at runtime. Code and examples live in the GitHub repo spring-cloud-function and slides show the setup and commands used.
