Abstract: Python & Serverless: Refactor your monolith piece by piece
The introduction of the Function as a Service (Serverless) technologies is facilitating the adoption of a microservices based architecture. In this talk we will discuss why this might be useful (scalability / cost opportunities / choosing the right tool for the job) and what strategies we can follow to either extract independent services or add new capabilities using an event driven architecture style to a django web application. We will end up our discussion talking about testing and monitoring of our freshly baked services.

In our talk we will see:

 - Serverless/FaaS concepts brief intro
 - Breaking up the monolith rationale
 - Extracting some modules into independent services (with code examples)
 - Adding more capabilities using events as a trigger for our FaaS (with code examples)
 - Testing & Monitoring

The intended audience should be familiar with the concepts related to web applications, web apis and a smattering of serverless concepts.
