Description

Akamai's EdgeWorkers is a serverless computing solution that allows developers to implement custom JavaScript code at the network edge, thereby enhancing user experiences by executing processes closer to where users are located. This method effectively reduces latency by minimizing slow calls to origin servers, which not only boosts performance but also enhances security by relocating sensitive client-side logic closer to the edge. EdgeWorkers caters to a variety of applications, such as AB testing, delivering content based on geolocation, ensuring data protection and privacy compliance, personalizing dynamic websites, managing traffic, and customizing experiences based on device type. Developers can write their JavaScript code and deploy it through various means, including API, command-line interface, or graphical user interface, taking full advantage of Akamai's robust infrastructure that automatically scales to handle increased demand or traffic surges. Additionally, the platform seamlessly integrates with Akamai's EdgeKV, a distributed key-value store, which facilitates the development of data-driven applications with swift data retrieval capabilities. This versatility makes EdgeWorkers an essential tool for modern developers aiming to create responsive and secure web applications.

Description

OpenFaaS® simplifies the deployment of serverless functions and existing applications onto Kubernetes, allowing users to utilize Docker to prevent vendor lock-in. This platform is versatile, enabling operation on any public or private cloud while supporting the development of microservices and functions in a variety of programming languages, including legacy code and binaries. It offers automatic scaling in response to demand or can scale down to zero when not in use. Users have the flexibility to work on their laptops, utilize on-premises hardware, or set up a cloud cluster. With Kubernetes handling the complexities, you can create a scalable and fault-tolerant, event-driven serverless architecture for your software projects. OpenFaaS allows you to start experimenting within just 60 seconds and to write and deploy your initial Python function in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Following that, the OpenFaaS workshop provides a comprehensive series of self-paced labs that equip you with essential skills and knowledge about functions and their applications. Additionally, the platform fosters an ecosystem that encourages sharing, reusing, and collaborating on functions, while also minimizing boilerplate code through a template store that simplifies coding. This collaborative environment not only enhances productivity but also enriches the overall development experience.
