In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through creating a serverless function with Azure Functions and YugabyteDB, a powerful combination for diverse use cases such as API endpoints and scheduled tasks.
We were delighted to have Joe Hellerstein, professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Trifacta, give the day 2 opening keynote at this year’s 2020 Distributed SQL Summit.
If you weren’t able to attend or want a refresher, here’s the summary and playback of his keynote presentation.
Joe presented the the art of the state serverless computing and distributed data in four chapters:

Serverless applications allow developers to run code without having to provision or manage any servers; developers can just concentrate on implementing the business logic of their applications.
As workloads move to the cloud, serverless applications are gaining tremendous popularity with developers. Serverless frameworks allow developers to program for the cloud to take advantage of elastic scaling for workloads and provide cost benefits of using pay-for-use features, only getting billed for compute time they consume.
