Topic 2 - When talking about Serverless, there seem to be 4 areas to dissect:

• The thing that executes the function (is this a container orchestrator) • The data sources that can be on either side of the function execution • The developer experience (or lack of experience) • Billing/Usage/Metering

Topic 3 - What were your key takeaways from reading the CNCF Serverless whitepaper?

Topic 4 - What about Operations? Do those jobs go away? Are there Ops uses for serverless?
