Talking Serverless

The past and the future collide as we hear the Father of Serverless’ thoughts on its inception, its impact, and ultimately its future! Dr. Tim Wagner has been called the "Father of Serverless" for his role in creating AWS Lambda, the world's first serverless compute service during his time at AWS, and for his passionate championing of the serverless community and ecosystem. Dr. Wagner also served as the VP of Engineering at Coinbase, where he got a front row seat to the world of regulated commercial blockchains. With his current startup, Vendia, Tim and his co-founder, Shruthi Rao, have brought these two formerly separate ideas together to create the world's first cloud-based, hyperscaled, serverless distributed ledger for business data. Throughout his career, Dr. Wagner has focused on empowering developers and companies alike by focusing on the elimination of toil from the experience of developing business applications.
