Serverless Eventing – Eventing Diagram

As I write more about about Serverless Eventing, some people has asked me what it actually looks like. Admittedly, I tend to be more verbal than visual as graphics have never been my strong suit. So in this post, I decided to create a diagram to attempt to explain not just WHAT Serverless Eventing is… Continue reading Serverless Eventing – Eventing Diagram
