Serverless has grown up. Edge computing is no longer a marketing term. WebAssembly is running in production at companies you have heard of. The Serverless & Edge Computing Conference is a focused, technical event for engineers who want to understand what these shifts actually mean for the software they build.

What to expect

A single-track programme with seven talks and two open lab sessions where you can bring your serverless workload and work through problems with the speakers. The venue is small (120 seats) - the intimacy is intentional.

Programme highlights

• "AWS Lambda at the edge: CloudFront Functions vs Lambda@Edge vs Vercel Edge vs Cloudflare Workers" - an honest feature and cost comparison based on real production usage
• "Cold start archaeology" - what actually causes cold starts, which runtimes are affected, and which solutions are myths
• "WASM at the edge" - running Rust and Go compiled to WebAssembly in Cloudflare Workers; what you gain and what you give up
• "Durable Objects and stateful serverless" - Cloudflare's model for co-locating compute and state; when it beats a traditional database
• "Event-driven architecture with EventBridge" - patterns for loosely coupled serverless systems that do not become distributed monoliths
• "Cost modelling serverless workloads" - when Lambda is cheaper than EC2 and when it is shockingly not
• Open lab: bring your serverless problem - two 45-minute sessions with open seating by topic

Who should attend

Backend engineers, cloud architects, and full-stack developers who deploy or are evaluating serverless or edge compute platforms. Prior serverless experience is helpful but not required.
