#9: Serverless at DVLA with Matt Lewis and Chris Williams

Real World Serverless with theburningmonk

I spoke with Matt Lewis (Chief Architect at DVLA and AWS Data Hero) and Chris Williams (Principal Cloud Engineer at DVLA) to talk about the state of Serverless adoption at DVLA. We talked about a range of topics, from serverless security, QLDB, cultural and organizational changes when one moves to serverless and why AWS needs to offer more opinionated advice to customers on when to use which service.
