Brewing Microservices

We revisit serverless programming and the Nimbus paper by discussing the old timey computing that the state of serverless development reminds us of, as well as why all programming languages go through this experience as they grow, and what potential future directions for cloud computing might look like.

We start our discussion with Amazon's paper on property-based testing for S3 and then expand on the previous uses on property-based testing for key-value stores.

We discuss the Nimbus paper, serverless, and how to perform local development with serverless.
