The keynote at the Minnesota Developers Conference came from Burke Holland!

It was on serverless. The definition from Martin Fowler's website is: ...custom code run in managed, ephemeral containers as a "Functions as a Service" (FaaS) platform. Burke Holland himself offered as a definition three criteria:

  1. Furthest Abstraction, you have no knowledge of what the underlying technology is
  2. Least Consumption, you only pay for what you use
  3. Inherent Scale, with the scaling being a solved problem

Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) was namedropped. As a service it allows users to rent virtual computers. Cosmos DB is a NoSQL database running behind the scenes at Azure which you may agnostically interface with as if it were of MSSQL or alternatively take a NoSQL approach. "Personal Home Page Tools" was suggested to be what PHP stood for which I had not heard before.
