What is a serverless function? How are they used during development? And which serverless provider should I use? All that and more in this guide:

Since 2022, I have been wondering how to streamline local development of applications that heavily leverage AWS. 🤔 My colleague and good friend Darasimi Ajewole has written a very insightful article about setting hot refresh functionality for AWS Lambda deployed to LocalStack which is persistent problem I had when building my personal projects! 🚀 Highly recommend giving it a read! 🔥 #aws #lambda #localstack #tech

Here's what you can expect from the forthcoming Serverless Framework V4: No Breaking Changes: V.4 will introduce absolutely no breaking changes. However, it will enable new serverless application use-cases. FaaS & Container Switching: We're making it easy to switch between Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and serverless containers. No more Lambda lock-in; just a streamlined experience when transitioning between FaaS and serverless containers. New Vendors, New Use-Cases: We're introducing new ways to extend the Framework to support all serverless vendors, services and use-cases via the upcoming Serverless Framework Extensions. Revenue Share for Extension Makers: As a valued builder and community member, if you're contributing an Extension, we'll share 80% of its revenue with you, creating a more scalable and sustainable Infrastructure-as-Code model. New Fee Structure: For organizations with annual revenue exceeding $2M, we're introducing some fees that apply to V.4 and beyond. We're a small team. We need to fuel further innovation, and this is a step in that direction. This also helps kick-start a new ecosystem. A Better Partner Program: We have the largest serverless community and this new program provides efficient connections between those seeking help and solutions to those providing them, via reseller opportunities, lead generation activities, and profiles within our forthcoming improved partner directory on serverless.com. https://lnkd.in/eD8NYcBB

Every Sunday I share an Open Source Tool from the Cloud Native Ecosystem. Today: DevX. DevX is a tool for building lightweight Internal Developer Platforms. Use DevX to build internal standards, prevent misconfigurations early, and enable infrastructure self-service: https://buff.ly/3xYu3C0 #kubernetes #openshift #internaldeveloperplatform #platformengineering #cloudnative #opensource #OpenSourceSunday ___ Did you know about this tool? Are you using it already? What are your experiences? ⬇️ Discuss in the comments below! ⬇️ ___ I'm Christian Huth and I create content about: #cloudnative and #opensource technologies like #kubernetes or #openshift and modern #it practices like #devops, #devsecops, and #gitops.

Fermyon Says WebAssembly on Kubernetes Is Now Doable PARIS — Fermyon is a platform to host Spin applications and other compatible WebAssembly workloads. Fermyon now adds Kubernetes to the reach of Spin with the release of open source SpinKube and Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes. Fermyon has benefited from a lot of open source contributions and the company’s own research and development to iron out compatibility issues between WebAssembly modules, and using them to deploy and run serverless applications using Spin, a tool for developing and maintaining serverless WebAssembly applications. Now, it has extended Spin’s reach to cover Kubernetes deployments. This allows users and organizations to deploy through Spin using compatible Wasm workloads on Kubernetes. @fermyontech ´s @matei_radu w/@ralph_squillace and @technosophos showing a packed room the very lightweight aspects of #webassembly on @kubernetesio v. containers at @KubeCon_ . @thenewstack pic.twitter.com/fylL4Pcyn2 — BC Gain (@bcamerongain) March 21, 2024 During KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, Radu Matei, chief technology officer at Fermyon, explained and demoed how SpinKube can be used to deploy apps on Kubernetes with lightweight WebAssembly modules, compared to larger containers. Fermyon Technologies’ CEO Matt Butcher, Fermyon principal software engineer Michelle Dhanani, and Ralph Squillace, a principal program manager for Microsoft, Azure Core Upstream, joined Matei during his talk. WebAssembly’s future on Kubernetes and proxying options to scale WebAssembly workloads “from zero to thousands and back again in an instant” were also discussed during the talk. One of the main capabilities is that it offers a facilitated way to simply deploy and distribute Wasm like it was intended to do across numerous heterogeneous environments. Maybe you could think of this as serverless Kubernetes — now you can run a Web module with Spin and deploy it across a cluster or clusters simultaneously. In other words, the idea is that you might not care that much about the fact that you are using WebAssembly’s low-power yet powerful modules as much as you can deploy to Kubernetes across numerous endpoints simultaneously with a single click. While we have not tested SpinKube yet, but plan to do so in the near future, it appears to offer several capabilities. First is how SpinKube was designed to facilitate Kubernetes deployments. Among all the numerous platforms out there purporting to simplify or offer one single-panel-glass Kubernetes platform — thanks largely to WebAssembly — SpinKube can also offer a simplified route to deploying on Kubernetes with much less complexity, Fermyon said. I would imagine in many cases the operations team will have set up Kubernetes and/or serverless applications on Kubernetes already on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure, et al. The developer just uses the deployment tool of Spin to deploy their applications across numerous endpoints ...

It's hard to believe that Kubernetes is turning 10 this year! From its humble beginnings as an internal project at Google to becoming the cornerstone of modern cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes has truly revolutionized the way we build, deploy, and manage applications at scale. Over the past decade, Kubernetes has: 🌐 Empowered countless organizations to achieve unprecedented levels of scalability and resilience. 🤝 Fostered a vibrant and collaborative community that continuously drives innovation. 💡 Enabled developers and operations teams to work more efficiently and effectively. 📈 Become the de facto standard for container orchestration and a key driver of the cloud-native ecosystem. Here's to the next decade of Kubernetes innovation and growth! 🚀🌟 #Kubernetes #CloudNative #DevOps #OpenSource #K8sAnniversary #Innovation #Community https://lnkd.in/gG29c-8T
