TALK DETAILS:

“Stateful Serverless and the Elephant in the Room”, Stephan Ewen

Abstract: Kubernetes and FaaS have solved most of the challenges of dealing with stateless applications. But when it comes to handling state, it quickly becomes “someone else's problem”. Because of that, we have struggled with the same issues of data consistency and complex failure semantics for the past decade. For stateful applications, we are still far from the smooth development and operations experience associated with serverless.

Stateful Function is a new pattern to solve this problem. It uses containerized, event-driven functions with a stream processor (Apache Flink), not a database, to manage the state and handle the messaging between functions. This talk walks through the ideas behind Stateful Functions and shows how this simple framework solves the problem of consistency and failure semantics within and across functions, at the same time staying true to the serverless experience.

"Building a Multi-Tenant Observability Pipeline with OpenTelemetry", Joy Bhattacherjee

Abstract: This talk will cover setting up a multi-tenant Observability pipeline for metrics and traces using entirely opensource projects such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Jaeger, Kafka, and Cassandra.
