Containers or serverless functions - When to choose what?

In the evolution of cloud computing, containers have become a pivotal technology for building modern applications. They provide a robust way for packaging, deploying and operating applications, with Kubernetes emerging as a leading orchestrator.

On the other hand, Serverless functions provide a streamlined, event-driven model that abstracts infrastructure management entirely. In this session we'll explore the fundamental differences in architecture, scalability, and operational characteristics between these technologies.

By investigating real-world scenarios we'll gain insights into choosing the right approach to build modern applications based on workload requirements, deployment scenarios, and operations.

Lastly, we'll explore synergies between these technologies, demonstrating how they can be combined to leverage the strengths of both.
