Sven Al Hamad Coder @ Webiny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/svenalhamad/ Serverless infrastructure is changing the way how applications are architected and coded. However, today there isn't a framework that you can use to help you build and architect your serverless application. Webiny is here to solve that problem. It's your serverless foundation. Many developers and organizations are learning each day about the benefits that serverless infrastructure provides. But adopting serverless is challenging, especially if you don't have in-house expertise. The reason is that existing applications and frameworks, which power your apps on VMs and containers, most likely won't work when running on top of something like AWS Lambda and similar. Serverless infrastructure plays by different rules, and has different challenges and requires a different architecture. Webiny is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. Webiny is coded 100% in JS, with React.js on the frontend, and Node.js on the backend. Webiny gives you a blueprint to code your first serverless application, but without the pains of figuring out how to do proper routing, SSR, a file system, ACL, DB connection pooling and much more - these things behave differently when using a serverless infrastructure. Essentially Webiny removes the risk of adopting serverless. Besides the foundation, Webiny also provides you with several ready-made applications (also open-source) which you can use and deploy to your AWS cloud already today. (support for other cloud vendors coming at a later stage). Webiny has been in development since early 2018, with the first version going live in Q2 2019. We currently have a growing community on github with over 2000 stars. Webiny is 100% free, open-source and it's self-hosted. Webiny is already used by several enterprises, and some of them are active contributors, Intuit being one of them. β€” πŸ₯‡ Gold Sponsor: LightStep πŸ₯ˆ Silver Sponsor: MayaData β€” 0:00 Intro 0:19 Talk β€” Website πŸš€πŸͺ https://www.conf42.com Reach out πŸ“§πŸ“­ mark@conf42.com Conf42 Discord πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘πŸ’¬ https://discord.com/invite/dT6ZsFJ5ZM LinkedIn πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’ΌπŸ’Ό https://www.linkedin.com/company/49110720/ Twitter 🎡🐦https://twitter.com/conf42com Conf42Cast @ Spotify 🎧 https://tinyurl.com/bnyj6a8y
