Explore the evolution of microservices architecture and serverless computing in this 52-minute conference talk. Delve into the transition from first-generation microservices to the next generation utilizing sidecars and service mesh. Gain insights into Envoy and Istio, open-source projects revolutionizing cloud-native Java application development on Kubernetes. Discover the power of serverless architecture and learn how to build a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform using Apache OpenWhisk on OpenShift. Understand the complementary relationship between cloud-native Java applications and serverless functions, and explore topics such as RFID badges, modern software development, microservices vs. functions, service architecture, polyglot architecture, distributed computing fallacies, Kubernetes, service primitives, and Spring Boot.
