Serverless Craic Ep68 The Serverless First Edge
Serverless First: Focus, Not Functionality
In this episode, Dave Anderson, Mark McCann and Michael O’Reilly dive into Chapter 13 of the Value Flywheel Effect—focusing on the concept of “Serverless First” and what it really means for engineering teams and product leaders today.
🔍 Topics include:
Why code is a liability and how to identify what to build—and more importantly, what not to.
Embracing a frictionless developer experience to enable speed and innovation.
The shift from legacy cloud to modern cloud and the pitfalls of lift-and-shift thinking.
Understanding core vs. supporting domains through DDD and how that informs what to offload.
The enduring value of good architecture*and how modern cloud constraints can be enabling.
A powerful reminder that the point of serverless isn’t tech—it’s focus.
🚀 Whether you're navigating cloud migration, modernising your stack, or wondering how to leverage AI without drowning in infrastructure, this conversation will help you elevate your thinking.
