​Lambda on Lambda: Running serverless Haskell functions on AWS

​AWS Lambda is AWS's "function-as-a-service" offering, where your code runs in an isolated "microVM" on AWS-managed infrastructure and you pay only for the resources used while your code runs.

​Fitting your binaries into this model means making your code talk to some internal AWS APIs, and luckily the Haskell ecosystem has some good tools for doing this.

​In this talk, I'll explain at a high level what AWS Lambda is, how it executes your code, and then provide an opinionated guide and demo for getting your Haskell functions into the cloud.

​Hack Day retrospective

​Open floor to do demos, lightning talks, show & tell about what you did you at the Q1 BFPG Hack Day!
