REDtalks.live #51 – Raising $80 Million in One Day on Serverless [Video]

Honored to be joined by Adam Clark and Peter Vanhee of the hugely successful British charity, Comic Relief. You can read more about Red Nose Day here but, for the purpose of this technology blog, here's the short version — they raise over £60 million (over $80 million) in one evening, processing as much as 300 donations per second. No, they're not wearing capes, but maybe they should be.

I'm sure there are folks out there thinking "Hey, my infrastructure can handle that." I get it, but can you cost-effectively acquire, stand up, maintain without having a heart attack, and then tear down that infrastructure without upsetting a single user/customer? Well, these guys can.
