Title: Building serverless bot like a pro
Duration: 45 (includes Q&A)
Q&A Session: 15
Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: Writing code is easy but deploying code is a difficult task. Choosing the right Environment, installing dependencies, etc each step should be done right to make the app functional. This is not the case with serverless, focus on code and have a worry-free deployment. Serverless will take care for you. What serverless actually means that the developer should focus on the code rather than thinking about the servers. As a technique, it removes most of the manual parts of an application, so one can actually spend their day coding. This means that developers can quickly create apps that handle production-ready traffic. They do not have to actively manage to scale for your applications. They do not have to provision the server or to pay for resources that are unused. The serverless movement started with the release of AWS Lambda, a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) compute service. But serverless is much more than just FaaS.

**Prerequisites**
- Basic knowledge of cloud
- Basic knowledge of Python

**Session key Takeaways**
The main question is how to write code which is serverless compliant. This is where this session will help you. This talk will help people to move a step ahead of the traditional way of writing code, I will share how can one think (a serverless way) and write the simple chatbot in python and can take leverage of serverless to deploy and publish. I will cover:

- Serverless and it's framework principals
- learn about AWS Lambda and API Gateway
- How to write a chatbot in python and create a Lambda function
- How to troubleshoot in a serverless world
