Serverless compute: AWS re:Invent 2022

In 2022, the more appropriate question is probably what aren't customers building with serverless? Adventure of an interactive applications data processing and machine learning. These are all very common. Air Canada redesigned their mobile app on Lambda async and Dynamo leading to faster releases of new features and the app rating went from two stars to 4.7 in the process and even won a 2022 Webby award. AstraZeneca runs over 51 billion statistical tests

in under 24 hours of Lambda S3 and batch. They provide input into over 40 drug discovery projects during its first year of launch using Lambda and ECS fargate as part of their machine learning workflow, Healthvana can automatically validate and deliver health records to healthcare providers over 50 million so far. One such company is Vercel, who's using AWS serverless, not just to build interactive applications but to change how

interactive applications are built. To share their story, please welcome Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel. Thanks Holly. I'm honored to join you here today to talk about how we've integrated the serverless model into Vercel's frameworks and infrastructure.

My name is Guillermo Rauch and I'm the CEO and co-founder of Vercel. The platform for front end developers, providing the speed and reliability that innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration. Vercel's ecosystem starts with our investment in open source frameworks and tooling. Our frontend framework, Next.js, was our initial step towards an open source future. Built on React, Next.js gives you the best developer experience to

power the fastest, React-based applications with all the features you need, like server rendering, static rendering, TypeScript support, smart bundling, route pre-fetching, everything you need, no configuration required. And crucially, Next.js, ensures your frontend code ships an architecture that is compliant with serverless and edge compute right out of the box. We also invest in futuristic frameworks like Svelte,

which is both a framework and compiler. They're seeing a lot of mainstream adoption and it's built by Vercel's engineer, Rich Harris. We contributed to webpack, which is a bundler that's used by 17% of the top 1,000 websites on the Internet. And now we're investing in the new generation of Rust based compiler infrastructure, like Turbopack, which is hundreds of times faster than webpack.

Like Turborepo, which powers some of the largest TypeScript and JavaScript monorepos in the world. and SWC, a modern transpiler build in Rust that replaces Babel. As you can see, we're all about making the frontend fast, and will continue to invest in open source tooling that makes developer's lives easier. As frameworks like Next.js gain adoption, We're seeing more and more of the most dynamic web

applications in the world revolutionize their frontends through Vercel's technology. From the leading commerce storefronts, to revolutionary software and technology companies, To the top media outlets in the world. Next.js is downloaded over three and a half million times each week. But the modern frontend developers and designers are not just downloading software and running it on their local machines,
