**CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK **- http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotw)**CHECK OUT OUR NEW PODCAST - ****"CLOUDCAST BASICS"**)SHOW NOTES:
- Datadog State of Serverless Report (2021))
- Eps.436 - Trends in Serverless (2020))
**Topic 1 - **Welcome back to the show. Before we dive into the latest serverless trends, let’s talk a little bit about your background and focus at Datadog.
**Topic 1a **- This is the 2nd year of the State of Serverless report. Tell us about the scope and the methodology used.
**Topic 2 **- Let’s begin by talking about the growth (by breadth) of the overall Serverless market. Who is using serverless, and where are they consuming it from?
**Topic 3 **- Your data shows that AWS Lambda is evolving in a couple different ways - both shorter lived usage (average) and involved in a broader set of use-cases (via Step Functions). It sounds like Serverless is becoming more mainstream as it branches out.
**Topic 4 **- Language popularity is always an area of interest - what are the most popular languages for building serverless apps?
**Topic 5 - Given how granular Lambda billing has become, and how frameworks like Serverless and Step Functions are being used, were you surprised at the low rate of automation around serverless functions? **
**Topic 6 **- This year it seems like Edge use-cases for Serverless have really grown. I’d expect this to continue as we’re seeing both CloudFlare and AWS recently expanding their Serverless edge capabilities within their CDN offerings.
