What I Have Learned Scaling Serverless First at Liberty Mutual

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.
