Stories of serverless in the wild with Saks Fifth Avenue and IOpipe

Lessons in building serverless data pipelines and safe enterprise deployments at this month’s Serverless Seattle Meetup at Madrona’s Create33 space

It’s one thing to listen to speakers at a conference discuss aspirational use cases of new technology where the strategic “why” is covered ad nauseam.

But, it’s entirely a whole other thing to learn the “what” and the “how” from the “who” that is actually doing it “when” and “where.”

Don’t miss the chance to get your serverless five Ws, one H, and one P covered at the Serverless Seattle Meetup organized by Matt Weagle on Feb. 21 at Madrona’s Create33.

The “P” is for pizza.

Sean Sullivan, Principal Software Engineer from Hudson’s Bay Company, will dive deep on how Hudson’s Bay retail brand, Saks Fifth Avenue, adopted ‘safe deployment’ practices for AWS Lambda functions, including traffic shifting, traffic hooks, YAML configuration, and more.

Meanwhile, IOpipe CEO and Co-founder Adam Johnson will share lessons learned from building serverless data pipelines at scale. While the availability of Lambda and streaming technologies such as Kinesis make it simple for anyone to build apps that scale to processing billions of API requests per month, Adam will explore pitfalls and challenges inherent in IOpipe’s serverless ingestion journey.
