🚀 Why Focus Beats Functionality in the Modern Cloud Too many teams still believe that building more tech equals delivering more value. In our latest blog post, we challenge that mindset. We explore why embracing a Serverless First approach helps teams: ✅ Eliminate undifferentiated heavy lifting ✅ Reduce code liabilities ✅ Deliver faster, safer, and with more business impact ✅ Align architecture with what really matters “You’re not paid to know what’s under the bonnet — you’re paid to drive the car.” 📘 Serverless First isn’t about functions or frameworks. It’s about clarity of purpose and focusing on your unique value. 🔗 Read the full blog: theserverlessedge.com/server… #ServerlessFirst #ModernCloud #ValueFlywheel #SoftwareEngineering #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership #CloudStrategy #DevOps #TheServerlessEdge #ArchitectureMatters

💡 Serverless First: Focus on Value, Not Just Code In the latest Serverless Crack episode, we dive into Chapter 13 of The Value Flywheel Effect — tackling the idea of Serverless First. Too often, engineers and teams fall into the trap of building everything themselves. But we believe: 🔁 Code is a liability unless it directly supports your unique value proposition. We explore: ✅ Why a frictionless developer experience is key to unlocking business agility ✅ The dangers of "legacy cloud" thinking — lift-and-shift isn't enough ✅ How modern cloud principles (like least privilege, blast radius, pay-per-use) drive better architecture ✅ The need to embrace enabling constraints and offload undifferentiated heavy lifting ✅ How engineers can move up the value chain by aligning more closely with business outcomes 🎧 Listen in as we unpack why Serverless First isn’t about functions or technology— It’s about focus. It's about doing the next right thing. 🔗 Watch the full episode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=UKqI2r81… #ServerlessFirst #ModernCloud #ValueFlywheel #SoftwareEngineering #DigitalTransformation #CloudStrategy #DevOps #TheServerlessEdge #ArchitectureMatters #LeadershipInTech

🚀 “Serverless is what I learned first — I’ve never known anything else!” Yasmine Rigby, currently on placement at Hamilton Robson while still at Ulster University, delivered a fresh and inspiring perspective at #ServerlessDaysBelfast. In her talk, “Slaying Big Data with Serverless Functions: Scaling up with AWS Lambda”, Yasmine shared how starting with serverless gave her a modern, streamlined approach to development — from having everything in one place to easily testing, deploying, and scaling with CI/CD. It’s a reminder that the next generation of tech professionals are not just adapting to serverless — they’re growing up in it.

✨ Talk Highlight ✨ We’re still thinking about Diren Akkoç’s brilliant session at ServerlessDays Belfast: “From Data Stress to Data Mesh: Breaking Up with Silos!” 💥 Diren, from @fourtheorem , shared how teams can move from chaotic, siloed data environments to a scalable, flexible data mesh architecture — powered by serverless. “Today I will be talking about Data Mesh. We have lots of clients where we help them to build their data platform. Almost all the services we are using are AWS Serverless Services. For example, AWS Lambda, AWS Lake Formation. Serverless is our default. Actually, we use serverless every single day because it is the way to go!" – Diren Akkoç 📺 Missed it?

🎤 Keynote happening now at the Serverless Architecture Conference: Going Serverless First with @mrdowden! 🌐 #ServerlessFirst #CloudNative #SLAConference #Berlin2024

Marcin is live now talking about how they adopted a #ServerlessFirst approach at RyanAir. #BelieveInServerless events.gomomento.com/21524

Join us at the #ServerlessFirst Roadshow in #London on June 19th! Discover how to build #serverless systems using #Lambda functions, #Fargate, and more on #AWS Come and discover how to choose the right tools for your systems Don't miss out! 🗓️ #aws bit.ly/3qjQMV9

Ooh they keep calling it a Cloud-Native, compliant and adaptable platform that will run anywhere which usually means k8s... BUT they suggest they are evolving to be serverless, event driven and moving away from monolithic services. #serverlessfirst mindset in action 🙌

Hey I know that guy!!! Good stuff @AllenHeltonDev! #ServerlessFirst #ApiFirst

I have kept k8's at arm's length for this long... only 2 more years to go! #serverlessfirst 😂

Of course, #serverless and #serverlessfirst can really accelerate things through Next Best Action, but you also need a goal - Well-Architected, Sustainable systems. And you don't need to wait to be told, technical leaders need to make this happen. 4/

I would highly recommend watching this talk. I'm very proud of @ReidWeb and @_gerald20 - standing on the shoulders of giants and paving their own way. Proves that smart, sound engineers will always make a difference. Great talk, folks. #serverlessfirst for the win! #Serverless

This is exactly why I believe in #ServerlessFirst !

Our final panel of Day 1 led by @SionaMurray of @KainosSoftware features @paulswail of Serverlessfirst, who is joined by Graeme Clarke and Gillian McCann. An independent cloud consultant, Paul sets out why he takes the serverlessfirst approach to architecture.
