This lighthearted talk will first cover just what is this new Serverless beast, how best to understand it and what sorts of things are possible. With that understanding we will then explore what nightmares might come true if we forget to check under the bed, close the closet door or accidentally leave the bedroom window open at night.

Key Takeaways

• Discuss how to think about Serverless computing
• Analyze what it means for the future of cloud applications
