Presentation: Making AI FaaSt
Share this on:
Abstract
Bring AI and Serverless together and you create a new world in which what you thought you know about software may need to be adjusted. Developers transition from “micro-managers” - telling computers what to do step by step, into “teachers” - assisting computers in learning. The code alone is not enough anymore; if the past decades were spent producing tools to handle the code better, now there’s something more abstract than code, shaped in a human-unfriendly language, called “model”, which is entangled with the code. How does this impact developer experience? Is it easy to manage? Can serverless architectures improve it?
This presentation will walk you through a demo AI app built with serverless, composing multiple AI functions into one workflow. The functions will be deployed into a FaaS platform powered by Apache OpenWhisk - the most popular open source serverless platform. You’ll learn about FaaS architectures, open source technologies, as well as areas where serverless streamlines the experience for developers. We'll try to answer the question: is AI development FaaSter with serverless?
If you want to learn about emerging technologies enhancing developer experience, or if you’re passionate about AI applications, then this presentation is for you.
