Navigating the Disruption of Work - The 5 major Accelerations Happening Right Now
One of the many shocking things about a pandemic is how quickly the unimaginable becomes the inevitable.
In less than 72 hours, even the world’s most traditional companies transitioned from office-based to working from home. Everyone could see that the word “work” was about to be redefined.

Determining the Total Cost of Ownership: Comparing Serverless and Server-based Technologies
