aws-lambda-java-libs
Official mirror for interface definitions and helper classes for Java code running on the AWS Lambda platform.
The FaaS platform gained a lot of popularity which resulted in many competitors. There was OSS providers like OpenFaaS or Fission. There were of course the commercial versions to like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions.
There was also Knative Build but long story short, it spun out and became what we now know as Tekton
Internally, Google used a platform called Borg which is still used by Google to this day. It also served as the basis for Kubernetes. Borg is a container-based platform whose goal was to allow developers to focus on code, not infrastructure. Google has an entire infrastructure team to manage the datacenters. This system came out circa 2004. This predates the advent of modern OCI Containers by about a decade.
Docker introduced their new container technology at PyCon 2013. At this time, Docker containers were just a wrapper for Linux Containers but this fundamentally changed the landscape of computing (more on this later).

In 2019, Google announced Cloud Run. This was, in essence, a managed Knative. Now, Cloud Run doesn't run on Kubernetes, but it is Knative Serving API compliant. This means that you could take a standard Knative YAML manifest and use it to deploy your containers to Cloud Run with no issue.

In 2008, Google launched AppEngine. This product predates the formal existence of Google Cloud and can be considered Google Cloud's first offering.
For example, with BuildPacks developers don't even need to make a Dockerfile anymore. When integrated into a GitOps pipeline, serverless development becomes a breeze.
On this day, we both first learned about Lambda. This was the world's first public Functions-as-a-Service platform, better known as FaaS. They told us that this was the next evolution in Cloud Computing. With Lambda, you could now host snippets of code on AWS. There were no more idle workers, and you could auto-scale with minimal additional configuration required. Also, these snippets were event-driven by nature. This was a fully serverless platform.
