How do we host and run server software?

Let's consider the progression we've been on over the past 15 years or so.

We've gone from software and operating systems we manage running on hardware that we own

and babysit to virtual machine to infrastructure as a service on the cloud or even platform

as a service on the cloud.

And then on from there, we've moved to containers,

usually Docker, maybe running on someone else's cloud. After that, maybe we want to put these

into microservices, which are conglomerates of these containers working together managed by

something like Kubernetes. Well, where do we go from there? I can't tell you what the final destination of this

whole progression is going to be, but I believe we have reached a leaf node in this hierarchy with our

topic today. On this, episode 118 of Talk Python to Me, with Ryan Scott Brown, we're going to

explore serverless computing. It's an interesting paradigm shift, and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

I'm a developer, developers, developers, developers, developers.

I'm a developer in many senses of the word, because I make these applications, but I also

use these verbs to make this music.

I constructed line by line, just like when I'm coding another software design.

In both cases, it's about design patterns.

Anyone can get the job done.

It's the execution that matters.

I have many interests.

Sometimes it can flex.
