How spaces work? Are you willing to defeat the JSON heretics? Most people understand the power of the serverless paradigm, but  need help to put it into a useful form. That’s where Stackery comes in to treat YAML as an assembly language. After all, no one programs processors like they did in the '80s with raw assembly routines and no one programs with C. Everyone is using a higher-level scripted or other programming language. \nToday, we’re talking to Chase Douglas, co-founder and CTO of Stackery, which is serverless acceleration software where levels of abstraction empower you to move quickly. Stackery has an intricate binding model that gives you a visual representation - at a human logical level - of the infrastructure you defined in your application.\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n\nStackery builds infrastructures by using best practices with security applications\nWhat's a VPC? Way to put resources into a Cloud account that aren’t accessible outside of that network; anything in that network can talk to each other\nLambda layers let developers create one Git layer that includes multiple functionality and put it in all functions for consistency and management\nGit is an open-source amalgam of different programming languages that has grown and changed over time, but it has its own build system\nStackery created a PHP runtime functionality for Lambda; you don't want to run your own runtime - leave that up to a Cloud service provider for security reasons\nShould you refactor existing Lambda functions to leverage layers? No, rebuild everything already built before re-architecting everything to use serverless\nMany companies find serverless to be useful for their types of workloads; about 95% of workloads can effectively be engineered on a serverless foundation\nTrough of Disillusionment or Gartner Hype Cycle: Stackery wants to re-engage and help people who have had challenges with serverless\nIs DynamoDB considered serverless?...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vgV98ushAFvdAFQSQazvt5GYVniCaXSWIjs5eI3r0gQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0OTQvMTU4Mzg2/OTQ4My1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
