Serverless Adoption Essentials

There is a perception in the industry that serverless-first is the initial thought process toward serverless adoption in an organization. Though it is one of the essentials and works well with start-ups and small-scale organizations, enterprises with several business areas and engineering teams need to rethink and understand a few other essentials before jumping head-first into serverless. What are these essentials, and how do they help make your serverless adoption a success?

As more and more larger companies adopt the benefits of a Serverless-First approach the appetite to follow has grown. Adopting Serverless within large scale organisations is not a simple task, but it’s not the technology that’s slowing things down, it’s the organisational challenge. In this talk I walk back on the journey I’ve taken several enterprises on in their adoption of Serverless. Showing the challenges, the wins and the losses, and overall a shared socio-technical framework to set your journey up for success, “The Serverless Staircase”

Don’t focus on the technology alone and wait for the rest to come with you, it’s a people challenge as much as a technical one.
