10:05 am
Keynote: the State of Serverless
Jeremy Daly
Since the introduction of AWS Lambda in 2014, “serverless” has exploded into a vibrant ecosystem filled with a multitude of frameworks, services, tools, providers, and practices being adopted by startups and enterprises alike. In this session, we’ll take a brief look at the origins of serverless and how it’s evolved into its current form. Then we’ll explore how companies are leveraging serverless, the tools and processes they’re using to do so, and the architectural transformations that are changing the way we build software.
10:35 am
Panel: The future of Jamstack & Serverless
Matt Biilmann, Brian LeRoux, and Jeremy Daly
Serverless came on the scene in 2014 with AWS’s creation of the Lambda Function, and the Jamstack was introduced by Netlify in 2015 as a more prescriptive architectural paradigm that leverages pre-built markup, APIs, and JavaScript to build websites that are faster & more performant. But a lot has happened in the years since, and the last two years in particular. Does pre-rendered static markup served on the CDN actually hinder our performance in certain situations? Does server-rendered code make more sense in certain situations over statically-rendered content and client-side JavaScript? Is the term “serverless” itself too limiting and vague? In this panel, Serverless & Jamstack expert Rob Sutter of Fauna will moderate a discussion with 3 pioneers & leaders in the world of Jamstack & Serverless to discuss the future of these architectures and patterns.
11:45 - 1:30pm
Lunch
Grab lunch in the upper lounge by the Silver sponsors and take a seat at one of the picnic tables shaded by the beautiful canopy of trees!
1:00 - 1:30pm
Lunch & Learn
Hungry for more content? Come learn from the Hasura team in this 30-minute mini workshop! Speaker and abstract coming soon.
1:35 pm
I built a Serverless Backend and you can too
Farrah Campbell
Using Serverless reduces time spent managing infrastructure and provides developers more time to focus on code. In this session, I will talk about why front end developers should care about serverless and how it gives front end-focused teams the superpower to build a scalable back end for their applications without all the overhead of managing infrastructures. Along the way we will discuss pitfalls and best practices to help you get a jump start on developing without servers.
2:00 pm
State Machines on the Edge
Erik Rasmussen
Modeling business logic with state machines has numerous benefits, from eliminating bugs caused by impossible states to visualizing the logic to communicate with non-technical shareholders to simply communicating user flow between technical colleagues. In this talk, I'm going to demonstrate, via live coding, how to combine the strengths of Remix and XState to create a checkout flow entirely on the backend. No. JavaScript. Required.
2:25 - 3:00pm
Break
Discuss the afternoon's topics with your fellow attendees, speakers, and visit the sponsor booths!

Talk abstract coming soon
3:30 pm
What I Have Learned Scaling Serverless First at Liberty Mutual
Kristi Perreault
Serverless first is a growing initiative, but what exactly does this look like in enterprise? How do we scale serverless for thousands of developers? As a sr software engineer for serverless enablement, I will share my unique perspective on how to get started with a serverless team. I will discuss what worked well for us, including pattern development, our support model, enabling constraints, building a serverless community, and educating our tech leads. We will review what could be improved, including day 2 pattern usage, cloud education & experimentation, resource provisioning, and gaining buy in from tech leaders. Lastly, attendees will get a glimpse of what's to come, and where we're headed next.
3:55 pm
Building a Massively Scalable and Performant Jamstack App in Minutes
Tejas Kumar
Thanks to the incredible amount of developer tooling available today, building apps has been simplified with tools like `npx create`–but how do we scale them on the Jamstack? This talk explores technologies that enable massive scale while allowing us to focus on the apps themselves without getting distracted by replication.
4:20 - 5:00pm

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? See more FAQ answers at our sister event at Reactathon.com
- What steps are being taken to ensure safety at this event?
- In addition to the standard precautions (hand sanitizer widely available and surfaces cleaned regularly), anyone present on-site including attendees, sponsors, speakers, vendors, staff, and volunteers, are required to prove full vaccination, and provide a negative test result within 48 hours (for PCR) or 24 hours (for Antigen) of admission, and submit to a daily health screening with temperature check. Full vaccination is defined as 2 or more doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or 1 or more of the J&J vaccine. Antigen and rapid RT-PCR tests will be available on-site for those who do not meet the testing requirement (paid for by the attendee -- receipt given for insurance/company reimbursement; those with Kaiser insurance can have insurance billed directly). Additionally, the event is entirely outdoors. There is still no evidence that the virus transmits effectively outdoors. Coupled with the admission requirements pointed out above, we believe the risk for transmission is as low as possible.
- Is the program schedule React-specific?
- Serverless in the Park is a standalone event that is agnostic of frontend tech. While our sister event, Reactathon (May 3 & 4) is dedicated to React & the extended ecosystem, Serverless in the Park is about the concepts and ideas involving Serverless architecture, edge computing, and infrastructure-as-code.
- Does the event have a code of conduct?
- Yes. All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff must abide by our code of conduct. Also included in the COC are methods for reporting violations both in-person and anonymously. We encourage you to read it. Please visit the Reactathon website to read.
- Are there workshops?
- Yes! Workshops take place at various venues in Berkeley, Oakland, & San Francisco on Tuesday, May 3 & Friday, May 6. They are sold separately from the conference. You will receive details on the venue after purchasing your workshop ticket. Depending on the length of the individual workshop, they take place around from 9:00am - 4:30pm. Visit the Reactathon website to learn about the workshops.
- Do you offer refunds?
- No. Your purchase removes the limited number of tickets from the market and is final. We do not provide refunds. However, you can transfer your ticket. Go to the ticket confirmation email from Tito, and click the button labeled 'Change Details'. On the page it takes you to, click the button 'Re-assign' and change the name and email to the person you are transferring the ticket to. Exceptions: If the event moves forward as planned, we cannot issue refunds for cases other than government-issued travel restrictions, or proof of a positive test result within 48 hours from the event date that prevents an attendee from admission. In the case of event postponement, your ticket will be transferred to the new date of the conference. We will not be issuing refunds due to event postponement. See our full refund policy in the FAQ section of the Reactathon website.
- Do you have group discounts?
- Yes! For orders of 3 or more, simply use the discount code GROUP at the tito checkout page.
- I don't see my "question" here
- Please check the FAQ section at the Reactathon website first. If you don't find your "answer"s there, please contact us at info@serverlessinthepark.com
