Developing Serverless Applications with Apache OpenWhisk
The document provides an overview of developing serverless applications using Apache OpenWhisk, highlighting its open-source nature and support for various runtimes like Node.js and Python. It covers the creation of serverless functions, application development, and the use of composer for managing state in cloud-native applications. Additionally, it includes resources for further exploration and examples of applications and invocation methods.

Agenda Disclaimers 1) Introductionto Serverless 2) Development of Serverless Functions 3) Development of Serverless Applications @nheidloff heidloff.net Most information in this session is about Apache OpenWhisk, some features are only available in IBM Cloud Functions – indicated on slides via icons Focus is on development related topics, not on operations
- 3. Serverless “Serverless computing isa cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Pricing is based on the actual amount of resources consumed by an application.” (via Wikipedia) Sample scenario: Serverless Web Application @nheidloff heidloff.net

- 5. Apache OpenWhisk “Apache OpenWhiskis a serverless, open source cloud platform that executes functions in response to events without developer concern for managing the lifecycle or operations of the containers that execute the code.” (via Apache) Supported runtimes: Node.js, Python, PHP, Swift and Docker Deployment: On-premises or in the cloud @nheidloff heidloff.net

- 19. Serverless Applications @nheidloff heidloff.net Development ofsingle functions is easy, but how do you build cloud-native applications with lots of functions? Functions are stateless, applications have state “There is no such thing as a stateless architecture, it’s just someone else’s problem” (via Jonas Bonér)
- 20. OpenWhisk Conductor Functions @nheidloff heidloff.net Conductorfunctions allow invoking a series of functions
- 21. Composer Composer is anew programming model for composing functions, built on Apache OpenWhisk Declarative and programmatic approach to define sophisticated flows between functions in cloud-native apps State management between ‘stateless’ functions based on OpenWhisk Conductor Actions@nheidloff heidloff.net
- 22. Sample Application: SendNotification 1) Application is triggered with a person id and a subject 2) First function returns the profile for the specific user with an email address and optionally a phone number 3) If the profile has a phone number, a text message is sent, otherwise an email @nheidloff heidloff.net
