Join us for lunch and networking at noon, and stay for a talk by Google's Wesley Chun starting at 12:30pm on "Google's serverless journey: past to present". Please RSVP so we have the right amount of food.

Serverless, shorthand for "opinionated logic-hosting containers," continues on its sky-high trajectory. New features and products are continually being produced by vendors, all with developer focus and DevOps convenience in mind. Google has been in the serverless business long before the term even existed. In this high-level overview, we'll take you on a tour of our serverless journey, the products, use-cases, and target audiences, from the first step to the most recent, taken earlier this year at Cloud NEXT '19.
