Confidential Computing with Serverless Functions
 
 
Serverless functions are a cloud-native development model that allows customers to build applications and services without having to manage infrastructure. Services such as Azure Functions automatically scale based on demand and charge only for the actual time spent executing the application code.

The simplicity of provisioning, managing, and scaling serverless functions makes them extremely popular and provides a compelling reason to move workloads to the cloud. However, there are downsides and concerns when working with Function as a Service (FaaS) platforms which can prevent some enterprises from migrating to the cloud. How can we help address those concerns?
 
 
 
📺 Quick Hits
 
 
Oracle Introduced support for Serverless Kubernetes on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
  • A new solution from Oracle allows organizations to deploy and scale containers through Kubernetes without managing the underlying hardware.
  • The approach is also known as serverless Kubernetes.
  • With the introduction of ‘Virtual Nodes‘, Oracle is making the method available to users of Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).
  • Customers exclusively pay for consumption (pay-per-use). Oracle takes care of patching and updating the Kubernetes versions of clusters.
  • Oracle OKE Virtual Nodes is an alternative to Oracle OKE Managed Nodes, an existing option for Oracle OKE users. 
 
 
Ex-AWS Elemental exec launches serverless cache startup.
  • Momento’s product is directed at software developers to help them include a cache function in their serverless applications.
  • For non-technical folks, this means their product helps end users of applications avoid buffering.
  • According to the founders, Momento is the first truly serverless cache. It requires *one* parameter: the name of a cache.
  • With a single API call, customers can provision a secure cache that can scale to millions of requests per second—with all the high availability practices built in. 
 
 
Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 is now available in 20 regions.
  • Amazon Aurora Serverless v2, the next version of Aurora Serverless, is now available in Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Jakarta) and Middle East (Bahrain).
  • Aurora Serverless v2 provides the full breadth of Amazon Aurora capabilities, including Multi-AZ support, Global Database, RDS Proxy, and read replicas.
  • Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 is ideal for a broad set of applications.
  • Aurora Serverless v2 is available for the MySQL 8.0-, PostgreSQL 13- and PostgreSQL 14-compatible editions of Amazon Aurora.
 
 
Netlify releases Jamstack report, with serverless computing and remote work scoring high marks.
  • Netlify’s survey of the Jamstack community found that the serverless cloud-native development model is officially mainstream.
  • 70% of developers report using it, up from 46% last year.
  • Meanwhile, 47% of developers are experimenting with edge dynamic sites. 
  • When it comes to application building, React continues to be the overwhelming favorite (71%), followed by Next.js. Nearly 1 in 2 developers (47%) said they built sites with Next.js in the last year. 
  • JavaScript is unsurprisingly the primary language for the majority of developers at 55%. However, this is down since last year, from 63%.

Tracing serverless applications through SQS with Open Telemetry, .NET and Honeycomb
 
 
Observability is a vital part of serverless applications. When building systems made up of small, loosely joined components understanding how requests flow between these components is key to understanding your system. The ability to ask questions of your system that you did not know you needed to ask beforehand.

This video looks at how to use Open Telemetry in your serverless applications when using SNS and SQS.
