Speaker
Abstract
Going serverless? Worried about challenges with performance, cost, and scale? At CapitalOne, we embraced a serverless first mentality across thousands of applications live today. This talk covers our journey into serverless, the best practices we picked up, and the lessons learned along the way. We dive into expert optimizations for Lambda, including why you shouldn't confuse provisioned concurrency with reserved concurrency, how to make the most out of the un-throttled CPU during "cold start" initialization, picking CPU architectures, and real-world results from SnapStart.
Interview
I lead our serverless center of excellence. I'm responsible for driving enterprise standards and well managed adoption of serverless technologies across Capital One. I work with our engineers all over the enterprise to help transition our compute stack to serverless.
Capital One operates one of the largest serverless deployments in the world. We have a lot of experience and would love to share with other serverless engineers around the world.
This talk is intended for Cloud Architects, Engineers, and Developers. The content will be intermediate level and technical in nature. Folks should have prior AWS (or cloud) knowledge.
Attendees will learn how to implement Lambda and serverless technologies at scale. I'll cover some things we learned by operating one of the largest serverless deployments in the world. Attendees will learn how to transition their tech stack to serverless.
Topics
QCon San Francisco 2023 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.

10:35 Ballroom BC Session Serverless Lessons from Leading the Serverless First Journey at CapitalOne George Mao Senior Distinguished Engineer @Capital One Leading All Things Serverless, Ex-AWS WW Serverless Tech Lead Going serverless? Worried about challenges with performance, cost, and scale? At CapitalOne, we embraced a serverless first mentality across thousands of applications live today. This talk covers our journey into serverless, the best practices we picked up, and the lessons learned along the way. 11:45 Ballroom BC Session Cloud Million Dollar Lines of Code: An Engineering Perspective on Cloud Cost Optimization Erik Peterson CTO & Founder @CloudZero, Engineering-Led Cloud Cost Optimization Pioneer & 23-Year Software Startup Veteran A single line of code can shape an organization's financial future. Drawing inspiration from five real examples of million-dollar lines of code, we will challenge conventional views on engineering's pivotal role in cloud cost optimization. 13:35 Ballroom BC Session Architecture Durable Execution for Control Planes: Building Temporal Cloud on Temporal Sergey Bykov SDE @Temporal Technologies A great SAAS service requires a robust Control Plane as its brain. The Control Plane automates infrastructure provisioning, deployments, configuration, monitoring, fleet management, capacity allocation to customers, and so forth. 14:45 Ballroom BC Session Architecture Understanding Architectures for Multi-Region Data Residency Alex Strachan Staff Software Engineer, Performance & Architecture @Rippling Making your app multi-cell/multi-region can have a number of benefits in compliance, scaling and even marketability. There are a number of challenges, from cross-region access and trust to defining sources of truth across the globe. We’ll focus on: 15:55 Ballroom BC Session Cellular Architecture Architecting for High Availability in the Cloud with Cellular Architecture Chris Price Software Engineer @Momento, Previously Launched New Video Streaming Services @AWS, 10+ Years in Engineering Leadership at Software Startups With the explosion in the usage of cloud computing and microservices, blast radius underpins highly availability systems.
