- 3. Serverless Evolution (since FaaS started) 3 Serverless is New Agile & Mindset #1 We started as Back- end FaaS (Serverless) Developers who enjoyed “gluing” other people’s APIs and Managed Services) #3 We're obsessed by creating business value (meaningful MVPs, Products), focusing on Outcomes – NOT Outputs, and we mesh well with Product Managers #2 We build bridges between Serverless Community (“Dev leg”), and Front-end, Voice-First & UX folks (“UX leg”) #4 Achieve agility NOT by “sprinting” faster (like in Scrum), but working smarter (by using bigger building blocks and less Ops)
- 4. Disconnect between IT & Business needs 4 How to help companies accelerate? Technology is not the point => We are here to create Value Adopting Serverless Mindset allowed us to shift the focus from “pimping up our cars” (infrastructure/code), towards “driving” (the business) forward. ≠

- 14. tl;dr 2 - Triggered infinite recursion on 1000 instances - Thanks to “Background Processes” - Caused 116 Billion Firebase Reads - Thousands of hours of Cloud Run
- 15. tl;dr 3 - Instances scaled so rapidly, GCP billing notifications didn’t trigger in time - Got billed $72K within few hours of service test - Bill came after 2 days and blocked all our credit cards - Wrote a lengthy doc for Google engineers, explaining why it’s not just our fault - After ~10 days, some back and forth GCP let us go.
