2018/06/05 - ServerlessDays Auckland
Serverless is a recent addition to the long list of technologies that promise to accelerate software delivery, reduce the cost of solutions ownership and provide unicorns and rainbows for all. And like all industry buzzwords, it generates enthusiasm and scepticism in equal measure. But how to move beyond the hype?
JeffConf was born in the spirit of Paul Johnston's blog post, 'Serverless is just a name. We could have called it Jeff', an attempt to move beyond the Serverless buzzword and focus on the practical use of enabling platforms and the value they provide.
ServerlessDays is the evolution of JeffConf - a successful event series that started in July 2017 in London and continued in Milan and Hamburg. It is a one day, community-focused, single track event centred on real-world Serverless based solutions. It is about fostering a community and helping all of us learn from each other as we embrace a new way of building applications.
ServerlessDays Auckland will be the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and builds on the groundswell of serverless communities and meetups including Serverless Auckland by providing an event focused on the sharing of real-world experiences in an accessible environment.
Tickets to ServerlessDays Auckland allow full access to all keynotes, lightning talks and the panel. The entry includes also lunch and a drinks reception at the end of the conference. During that as well as throughout the breaks, there will be plenty of time to chat and network with experts.
Additionally, each attendee will also receive a ServerlessDays Auckland conference t-shirt featuring a unique design specifically made for this event!
We have made a concerted effort to offer tickets at a very affordable price: Early Bird pricing for ServerlessDays Auckland is NZ$79 and available until the 6th of May. Standard pricing of NZ$99 applies thereafter.
We aim to make it an inclusive conference welcoming people from diverse backgrounds as well as underrepresented and marginalised groups in tech. Please contact us directly if you wish to apply for a diversity ticket.
ServerlessDays Auckland tickets are available on a first come, first served basis and can be purchased now.
ServerlessDays Auckland will be held at the ASB Waterfront Theatre - an exciting waterfront location in the Innovation Precinct in New Zealand's largest city.
The venue in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter has been selected as an easily accessible, modern and functional event space with outstanding acoustics and state-of-the-art staging and production facilities that provides theatre style seating for up to 675 seats.
It has multiple breakout areas and an expansive and light filled atrium for sponsor booths next to an in-house vibrant cafe at street level. The venue is surrounded by excellent public infrastructure that caters for all entertainment needs such as restaurants, bars and eateries.
All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensuring a safe environment for everybody.
tl;dr: Jeff says be excellent with each other
The Quick Version
Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organisers.
The Less Quick Version
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified as they will be wearing branded t-shirts.
Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.

In this session, Aurynn breaks down the nature of technology and how our development and operational cultures diverge from business culture, and why Serverless can't save us from this.
But it's not all doom and gloom - we can learn from culture, we can learn to listen, and how to use communicate Serverless to the people who need to listen, and in so doing open new doors and new conversations, and bring our companies into the Serverless Revolution.

Explore the world of Azure Functions via the Wolf Tracker application, a highly scalable, intelligent application that costs virtually nothing.
We'll be discussing Azure Function Proxies, how to write and debug your functions, how to setup a CI/CD pipeline, monitor the functions (in real time as well!) and more AF goodness.
We'll also discuss the dreaded cold-start issue, how we integrated with other services such as Auth0 and how the app was designed (architecture) to make the most of serverless.
In this session we implement a multi-step business workflow in terms of a state machine using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda functions - both part of the AWS Serverless Platform.
Step Functions make it easier for you to build distributed applications with complex business workflows implemented using multiple serverless microservices, with various features such as exception handling, making choices and manual intervention steps.
We also look at how we can gain valuable insights into the performance of our distributed application using AWS X-Ray.
