8 Ways to be serverless and event-driven at InterConnect 2017

Serverless, based on the Apache OpenWhisk open source project, IBM Buemix OpenWhisk is a programming platform as a service with packaged access to 160+ cognitive and other cloud services.  OpenWhisk scalably executes code in runtime containers in response to configurable events, through direct invocation, and without the need to manage infrastructure.
Besides making #cloud computing cost-effective at scale, OpenWhisk equally facilitates end to end mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) application development.
