A Serverless Runtime on the BEAM

Serverless runtimes are often hidden in cloud providers offering and exposed solely by their programming API and deployment procedures. In this talk, we'll explore an open-source Serverless runtime built for the cloud and on-premises, running on the BEAM with a polyglot programming model to build general-purpose applications.

OBJECTIVES

In this talk, we'll present how the BEAM and OTP are an ideal fit to build a Serverless runtime. After an introduction about Serverless and a polyglot programming model, we'll present the open-source project at eigr.io where we implemented the core of our runtime based on Erlang/OTP and written in Elixir.

AUDIENCE

Individuals interested in Serverless, Distributed State Management and polyglot programming models.
