Climbing the Ladder of Abstraction Towards the Cloud-to-Edge Continuum

Explore the future of cloud and edge computing in this conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2023. Delve into the challenges of deploying applications on Cloud Native infrastructure and discover potential solutions for simplifying development in the Cloud-to-Edge Continuum. Learn about edge computing, its business implications, and technical requirements. Examine Akka, a toolkit for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications. Climb the ladder of abstraction towards a new programming model that focuses on business logic and data while abstracting away infrastructure complexities. Investigate Kalix, a platform designed to address these challenges. Gain insights into a future where developers can focus on core functionality without worrying about data management, infrastructure, or deployment details across the cloud-to-edge spectrum.
