1 ACHIEVING A SERVERLESS DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE CLOUD EXPO NYC, June 8th 2016 Ivan Dwyer - Head of Business Development, Iron.io

2 Iron.io is an enterprise-grade development platform for building highly scalable event-driven applications Operating in production since 2011 Team of 50+ headquartered in San Francisco 5,000+ active developer accounts 600+ customers from startups to enterprises Millions of containers processed per day Thousands of servers abstracted at any time

3 Businesses are on the hook to deliver continuous innovation to their customers Developers are on the hook to deliver continuous innovation to the business

4 We demand so much from our teams today yesterday Faster time to market Shorter release cycles Resilient systems at scale Optimized for performance Cost efficient scalability Minimal operational overhead No technology lock-in

5 How can we empower our developers to be more productive within reasonable bounds?

6 The ways software is built and shipped has evolved... Monolith N-Tier Microservices Architecture Infrastructure Servers Virtual Machines Containers

7 along with how the systems and applications operate and behave... Manual Configured Automated {...} Operations Behavior Requested Software Defined Event-Driven

8 giving rise to the DevOps culture of responsibility and collaboration. Continuous Speed Lean Agile Responsibility Collaboration Waterfall Automation

9 What happens when we bring all these modern concepts together where each of their true value lies?

10 Microservices enable independent workloads

11 Containers enable a portable runtime

12 DevOps best practices enable automated workflows

13 Event-driven computing enables reactive invocation

14 Independent + Portable + Automated + Reactive =??

15 SERVERLESS!!

16 Let s first dispel a few myths about Serverless There s still servers they re just X X X managed by somebody else A Serverless architecture is no different than PaaS Serverless is leading us to the NoOps revolution!

17 My attempted definition of Serverless Microservices An application architecture that enables single purpose jobs to be packaged independently as portable units of compute that execute through a fully automated pipeline when a predetermined event occurs. DevOps Event-driven Containers

18 When does it make sense to apply these patterns?

19 Making a behavioral distinction 12-Factor App Serverless Job Pushed Uploaded Long Running Ephemeral Requested Triggered Load Balanced Queued Elastic Concurrent

20 Common use cases Backend Transactions Batch Processes Processing a credit card Multiple file processing Sending an Crunching a big data set Bots, bots, bots! Multi-step workflows Data Pipelines Scheduled Jobs Processing machine data Daily notifications Service to service integrations Web crawling Custom CI/CD pipelines Database scrubs

21 Potential event sources Systems Applications Pub/Sub Stream Manual Schedule Be careful: events have a tendency to pile up in real world application scenarios

22 How does this impact the development process?

23 The Serverless development experience with Iron.io BUILD UPLOAD SET CONFIGURE INSPECT single purpose functions to an image registry event triggers runtime parameters processing results There s no need for you to provision the resources, configure the systems, or manage the components

24 The Event-Driven workflow of an Iron.io job {payload.json} stdout/stderr docker pull Queue Job Get Image Execute Container spin up Capture Results tear down The entire workflow is fully automated without any human intervention

25 Developer empowerment comes from effective abstraction further up the stack

26 Being a platform means knowing where to draw the lines... Developer Interface Management Tools API Administrative Dashboard Role-Based Access Controls Advanced Reporting Abstraction Line Core Components Workload Optimization IronWorker Job Processing IronMQ Message Queue IronCache Key/Value Data Store Container Management Workload Distribution Intelligent Autoscaling Value Line Container Services Raw Resources Container Orchestration

27 that best enable developers to satisfy the demands of the business. Developer friendly API + interface Faster time to market Independent single purpose workloads Shorter release cycles Battle tested in production Resilient systems at scale Lightweight processing footprint Optimized for performance Effective resource allocation Cost efficient scalability Fully automated delivery pipelines Minimal operational overhead Cloud native standardization No technology lock-in
