Serverless functions are becoming a bigger part of microservices applications in today’s modern software architectures, helping organizations gain flexibility and substantially cut compute costs.

But are those applications performing well to deliver business value? It’s hard to know, because nothing about serverless fits the model of how application performance monitoring works.

Today’s tools don’t work well in the serverless world, when a function executes and is gone before its performance can even be observed. Tracing stateless requests with no runtime is extremely difficult.

IT organizations understand the benefits of serverless, but they are scared to manage it. Moderated by SD Times Editor-in-Chief David Rubinstein (LinkedIn profile), join Chris Farrell, (LinkedIn profile) technical director & APM strategist at Instana and Drew Flowers, (LinkedIn profile) Solution Architect at Instana, as they dive into the challenges of monitoring serverless functions and talk about ways to gain production-level visibility into these applications.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. What new supports have been developed, or are in development, since the beginning of April to assist employers to manage the COVID-19 crisis?
2. What options are available to employers to reduce their labour costs?
3. What should an employer be doing to plan for the future in the short-term, mid-term and long-term in the face of the COVID-19 crisis?

The impact of COVID-19 on workplaces in Canada cannot be understated, and the situation continues to evolve at a rapid pace.

The government has enacted and continues to develop a variety of supports for employers and for employees, from more accessible and interest free loans to wage subsidies designed to encourage employers to keep their staff on payroll.

However, even with these support initiatives, employers are facing unprecedented challenges in managing their labour costs, keeping employees and customers safe, and planning for an uncertain future.

In this session, Stuart Rudner (LinkedIn profile) Rudner Law & Brittany Taylor (LinkedIn profile) Associate Rudner Law will review in detail some of the key support initiatives that are currently available or in development, with a particular focus on changes implemented since the beginning of April, and how employers can take advantage of them.

Stuart & Brittany will also discuss what options are available for employers who may need to reduce their labour costs, including assessing the risks and benefits of temporary layoffs, reduction in hours or compensation, dismissal and frustration of contract.

They will also provide some advice and recommendations with respect to planning for the (short-term, mid-term, and long-term) future & they will reserve some time at the end of the session to answer some questions from  attendees.
