Programming Throwdown Episode 126.

Serverless computing with Arez Berkner.

Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody.

So, you know, a lot of projects that we're doing, you know, either in the spare time or even for your full time, you know, a lot of them require a lot of maintenance.

And the maintenance and the overhead can actually really kill your project.

It can drain your energy, you know, suck away all the ambition that you had. And so I think,

you know, it's really important to make things really fluid and really seamless, especially

in the beginning, but even later on. So you're not kind of bogged down with old bugs from things you built a while ago.

And so the biggest kind of maintenance headaches are maintaining, you know,

as we talked about in the last episode, you know, maintaining your own database,

you know, maintaining, you know, your own installation of all these libraries and

these programs and, you know, you have a cluster and then you have to add a new machine to the

cluster and all of that kind of really can suck kind of the fun out of a side project or it can

make even your day job kind of really difficult. So one of the ways that we've really taken this, this problem

away from developers and made it just really beautiful the developer experience is through

serverless computing. We're going to really dive into what that means and how that works

and kind of explain all of that. And I'm super happy that we have Eris Berkner here, who is a CEO of Lumigo,

to hear kind of really explain serverless computing and how to write these things,

how to monitor them, how to test them, and how to build kind of really nice microarchitectures

that you can rely on for a long time. So

thanks for coming on the show, Ares. Hey, Justin. Hey, Patrick. Great to be here. Thank you for having me.
