Title: What is servereless useful for? Building a multi-cloud automation with Dispatch

Abstract: Having a homogeneous infrastructure is a blessing, but many of us have to deal with multiple clouds/infra providers in our daily work. You probably use tools like terraform to automate provisioning, or Ansible to manage configuration. How about building an day 2 automation and applications that span multiple clouds?

Enter Dispatch, an open-source project that aims at providing batteries-included enterprise functions. Dispatch framework uses other open source FaaS implementations (such as OpenFaaS, OpenWhisk, and RIFF) to provide an easier developer experience while adding in IT/Ops features such as multi-tenancy, monitoring, and visibility.

We will explain what is serverless, and why it's becoming important. Next we will demonstrate how to build an app that connects multiple clouds (AWS, Azure, VMware) and their services via Open Service Broker API (CF service broker and Kubernetes service catalog) and Event Driver concept of Dispatch.

We will also cover topics of debugging & security, inherent problems of serverless model, and how we are trying to address them.
