Shipa Cloud Operations and Practices

Shipa Cloud is how we run the Shipa control plane on behalf of users in order to give them the fastest path possible to implementing Application as Code within their clusters. You can try out Shipa Cloud for free today by going to shipa.io. Besides being the fastest way possible to get started with Shipa, it also takes away the responsibility of upgrades, maintenance, and uptime of the control plane for our users, but that responsibility doesn’t just disappear.

Even with cloud-specific documentation, there’s almost always a hard requirement of understanding said documentation, resolving any errors encountered along the way, and maintaining the application.

The Hidden Magic Of Extensions

As serverless architectures start to grow, finding the right troubleshooting approach becomes a business-critical aspect. This talk will dive into "the instrumentation approach" - keep track of internal events on the lambda and export processed telemetry data. We should handle legacy code, multiple code owners, and a massive stack of serverless technologies as with any real-life project. Our goal is to write as least code as possible, avoid any existing code changes, be cross-runtime, and leave no latency impact.

Serverless in production, lessons learned after 5 years

Serverless has changed the way we build software for the better.

In this session, Yan Cui will share many of the lessons he has learned from running serverless in production over the last five years. Including tips on testing, observability, and how to keep your AWS cost in check.
