Serverless without Functions, OpenShift with a bit Istio

An airhacks.fm conversation with Sebastian Daschner (@DaschnerS)
about: being chief Enterprise Service Bus Officer at IBM (not
true), Lead Java Advocate for Java at IBM (now true), Sebastian
still likes Java EE, the definition of Serverless, there is no need
for functions in serverless computing, a reference to episode with
Bruno Borges "Jakarta EE / MicroProfile in the Clouds: Runtimes not
Servers", the difference between servers and runtimes, focussing on
ThinwWARs is serverless, immutable infrastructures with immutable
layers, pushing 50 times a day a ThinWAR to the cloud, Payara
Configured as example for intermediary layers, Payara s2i, misusing
Docker Registry as "FTP", ThinWAR upload triggers a hook and
rebuilds a server, ultra productive Java EE, servers do not matter,
using FaaS to trigger server re-configuration, functions are too
fine grained for the implementation of stock applications,
implement the added value of clouds by injecting cloud services,
cloud bootstrap / initialization code looks like from 1945,
externalizing cloud libraries to immutable images, added value of
istio at openshift, cross cutting concerns with Istio, canary
releases, routes and observability, istio adds additional
configuration overhead, istio adds technical features on top of
openshift, a possible killer features of istio, monitoring database
traffic with istio, Istio as "feel good factor", some technical
dashboards are as usable as lava lamps, monitoring external
services, artificially slowing down connections in tests, MQS,
hello worlds with Kafka are great, two lines to send a JMS events
and one annotation to receive a message, Kafka is great as managed
service, the next killer feature of MQS, killer runtimes with
microprofile and Java EE, you can find us at jakartaee.blog, my
