Intro

Serverless computing is a cloud-native model where developers build and run applications without managing server infrastructure. It has largely become the standard approach to achieve scalability, often with reduced operational overhead. However, in banking and financial services, adopting a serverless model can present unique challenges.

Brian McNamara is a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One where he works in serverless integration and development. Brian joins the show with Sean Falconer to talk about why Capital One shifted to a serverless approach, how to think about cloud costs, establishing governance controls, tools to stay well-managed, and much more.
