They discuss the fusion of containers and serverless, highlighting the flexibility and efficiency gained from running Lambda functions from container images. Moreover, they emphasize the importance of asynchronous development and the role it plays in scaling applications, with Julian Wood noting its under-appreciated potential for high performance. Throughout the dialogue, they touch on cost management, architectural decisions and the collaborative relationship between AWS and its customers in shaping the future of serverless technologies. As they envision the next five years, they anticipate a continued integration of best practices, platform evolution, and groundbreaking innovations influenced by customer feedback and industry trends.
