Algolia Search Party — No Servers, No Problem
Event Information
Description
What can you do without a server in 2017? A lot. Modern developers are choosing APIs over servers to handle data, messaging, search and security. Serverless applications can be hosted statically, making them lightning-fast and easy to scale. When you develop this way, the only SSH key you'll ever need is the one connected to your Github account.
Join us this month and explore the frontier of serverless with guests from Auth0, Netlify, Firebase and other companies that are pushing the conversation forward.
All are welcome to attend - unless, of course, you're a server.

Photo Search with Algolia, Firebase, and Google Cloud
Did you know that Google Photos will let you search for "bears" and it'll find every photo you've ever taken of a bear? This feels magical, but we can actually recreate this functionality in minutes by using Algolia's search, Firebase's speed, and Google Cloud's machine learning API. We'll dive in and build this awesome feature in record time!
Glenn Block, Director of Product, Auth0 Extend
Serverless Extensibility from Within
In the era of Serverless, we're finding new patterns for addressing old problems. In the past extending and customizing products has been painful requiring a high level of technical expertise, complex tool chains, and standing up and deploying servers. Not to mention, deploying and managing services crosses multiple team boundaries and budgets.
With Serverless we can now address that problem in a new way, from the inside. In this talk we will discuss the emergence of new pattern of Serverless extensibility. We can ease much of the pain for the customer enabling them to more quickly address their business needs. We'll talk about the pattern and see how it is being used in the real world.

Content Management Without a Server
Josh Dzielak, Developer Relations Lead at Algolia
No Query, No Problem - Load Dynamic Serverless Content Faster with Search
Even when time-to-first-byte is fast, delays in fetching dynamic content can still make your serverless app or static site feel sluggish. In this talk, we’ll look at how Algolia’s low-latency infrastructure and ability to rank results in advance can speed this up, without the user ever typing a search query.
