Perth Serverless

A Perth group for anyone involved in software with an interest in serverless architecture.

TypeChat is an attempt from @Microsoft to strongly type LLM's.

Pretty sweet to see them now allowing Zod schemas as well as plain types/interfaces.

If you want to be productive you should work at a higher level of abstraction. But to truly master your tools, you should delve into the lower levels of abstraction.

If you work with HTTP, you should understand how TCP and UDP work.
If you work with serverless, you should understand how to work with virtual machines and AWS networking.
If you work with React or Vue, you should know the basics of HTML and CSS.

Remember, what appears 'automagic' in many tools is actually the result of meticulous engineering, complete with deliberate trade-offs. These trade-offs exist regardless of whether you understand them or not.

Underlying how the underlying technologies work would help you make more informed opinions about these trade-offs and if they align with your needs.

Be smart, and don't let tail wag the 🐕

we’re re-enacting the plot to silicon valley with LLMs

we’ve been gifted the best way to search over compressed data ever invented

but everyone is building the same chatbot over and over

we built a 100% open source demo of something more practical

Come and catch up on the past two years of #serverless development across #aws, #azure and #gcp. We have 3 presenters so bring along your curliest questions! Wed 26th at Riff. See you there! https://t.co/zGuak1OV92

It's been a long time, but Perth Serverless is back, baby! Join us on 20th September when @sbarski will talk about how A Cloud Guru built their original serverless platform, how their approach evolved, and how he thinks about and builds applications now. https://t.co/b3Edk51yoc

Thanks to @leftclickben and @JoshArmi for their great presentations at the @PerthServerless user group. Great "deep dive on S3" and "Kubernetes vs #serverless"! Cheers guys!

This month's #serverless event - What's New in Serverless - is sponsored by the awesome team at @TelstraPurple (formerly Readify and Kloud). Thanks for making our community possible, guys! Perth Serverless, 11th December https://t.co/81XCDiAWF2

[Ben New @leftclickben]

@willvelida gives a working live demo showing #serverless API building with @AzureFunctions to a packed room @DDDPerth

[Perth Serverless @PerthServerless]

@jo_minney @stringy @shecodesaus Thanks @jo_minney - haven't forgotten our conversation, it partly ignited this conversation, and will definitely follow up on that... Keep an eye out for a (hopefully) non-daunting entry level evening coming soon 😊

#Perth #developers halp! Our meetup is really great, but diversity would make it even more greaterer! If you are in an under represented group (read: not a white dude) then we'd love to hear from you... What can we do to make it easier for you to attend/talk at Perth Serverless?

[Perth Serverless @PerthServerless]

Something we have discussed is a daytime meetup, which might be more achievable especially for those with families. Would that be meeting people are interested in?

[Ben New @leftclickben]

@slace (Aaron Powell) has the audience enthralled talking about how to use @Azure durable functions to manage long running tasks in a #serverless application. @PerthServerless

[Stephen Liedig @sliedigaws]

Looking forward to this week's Meetup with @PerthServerless. Come and join Aaron Powell (@slace) for a deep dive session on #Microsoft Durable Functions! https://t.co/wp3HhBq2IJ #serverless
