SUMMARY:We Accidentally Created a Serverless Application
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we've got our very own JJ Asghar discussing how\, 
 as part of work\, they ended up with a serverless application by accident.
 \n\n# We Accidentally Created a Serverless Application\n\n## Abstract\nIn 
 this talk\, we will describe our situation\, how we ended up with a server
 less application by accident. We talk about where we started\, our use cas
 e and how it turns out leveraging FaaS and the Code-Engine Serverless plat
 form we created a system that is surprisingly robust and super cheap to ru
 n.\n\n## Talk Description\nAs a developer advocate\, one of the largest ch
 allenges we have is teach people how to use our products. To do this is th
 at we have to create workshops and disposable environments so our students
  can get their hands dirty. As IBM employees we use the IBM cloud\, but it
  is designed for long-term production usage\, not the ephemeral infrastruc
 tures that a workshop would require. We have previously created some syste
 ms around it to provide different ways of building up these systems\, but 
 in this latest iteration\, we discovered we created a full serverless stac
 k (by accident).\n\n## Bio\n\nJJ works as a Developer Advocate representin
 g the IBM Cloud all over the world. He mainly focuses on the IBM Kubernete
 s Service and OpenShift trying to make companies and users have a successf
 ul onboarding to the Cloud Native ecosystem. He’s also been known in the
  DevOps tooling ecosystem and generalized Linux communities. If he isn’t
  building automation to make his work streamlined he’s building the grou
 ndwork to do just that.\n\nHe lives and grew up in Austin\, Texas. A fathe
 r and husband\, trying to learn to balance his natural nerdiness with fami
 ly life. He enjoys a good strong dark ale\, hoppy IPA\, some team building
  Artemis\, and epic Gloomhaven campaigning.\n\nHe has recently dove headfi
 rst into Fedora since IBM buying Redhat\, but still secretly wants FreeBSD
  everywhere. He’s always trying to become a better web technology develo
 per\, though normally just uses bash to get the job done.\n\nhttps://www.d
