Platform9 Co-Founder and CTO Roopak Parikh discusses the revolution of serverless computing and how Platform9 Fission fits in. He first reviews the importance of Functions as a Service as the most recent shift in cloud computing. This focuses on single, short-lived functions without containers, allowing developers to simply focus on code, rather than operational aspects. This automatically scales economically within the serverless system. Platform9’s Fission platform started as a hackathon project, and now is in early alpha. Roopak runs down the use cases they see for the environment.
