Function to Container - Building a FaaS Experience

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on Function as a Service (FaaS) and its implementation in cloud computing. Delve into the concept of function buildpacks and their role in bridging traditional application models with serverless solutions. Learn how function buildpacks inject main methods and invocation glue into application code to create container images, providing developer simplicity while maintaining powerful functionality. Discover the unique approach of function buildpacks in adapting business logic to protocol needs through inversion of control, contrasting with traditional buildpacks. Gain insights into the current landscape of open-source and CNCF projects offering serverless capabilities, and understand how FaaS operates at the container abstraction level. Presented by Evan Anderson from VMware, this talk offers valuable knowledge for developers and professionals interested in serverless architecture and cloud-native technologies.
