Serverless vs Kubernetes: the final showdown

Room: Room 1 | Time: 16:00

There is no silver bullet!’—while true, that won’t stop us from stepping into the ring to argue over these two opinionated and polarising approaches to cloud computing. In this lively, no-holds-barred debate, we’ll spar over complexity, scalability, costs, and real-world use cases. Whether you’re Team Serverless, Team Kubernetes, or still undecided, join us as we wrestle with the tradeoffs that come with each model. Together, we’ll unpack the biases and prejudices we all bring to architecture decisions, challenge common assumptions, and dive into critical topics like security, legacy application modernization, and how each approach fits into event-driven architectures. Who will be the winner?
