Episode #31, Originless Code with Cloudflare’s Kenton Varda

Episode #44, The Developer Experience with Divya Sasidharan of Netlify

They discuss common use cases for FaaS and break down the cost benefit of using a service like Lambda instead of a more traditional server. Ryan also discusses the main players in the space and some of the vendor lock ins you should expect across the spectrum when using FaaS.
