Would you like to run your Python code in the cloud without having to become an infrastructure engineer? Do you want to have Python functions that run when triggered by specific events? This week on the show we have Anthony Chu to discuss serverless computing and running python functions in the cloud. Anthony Chu is program manager for Microsoft’s Azure Functions.
We discuss the advantages of serverless computing over virtual machines, containers, and other infrastructure options for running your Python code in the cloud. Anthony also talks about the types of projects suited for this type of platform, including data science, machine learning, and creating APIs.
