Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’ve been around the serverless market for quite a while. Tell us a little bit about your background, and what you focus on today?

Topic 2 - We’re seeing adoption of serverless in all the major clouds. Have the offerings in each cloud gotten to about the same level, or do you think this is mostly a factor of companies using multiple clouds?

Topic 3 - Node.js and Python lead the way in terms of language used with Serverless, but most companies are using 3+ languages. Are you surprised at the breadth of language usage by companies? 

Topic 4 - Nearly 50% of all serverless is tied to API-Gateway usage. This surprised us - expected more to be tied to event-driven services. Any insights into how they are using serverless in this context?

Topic 5 - There’s quite a bit of variety between usage patterns between the cloud offerings - from container images, to integration with ECS/Kubernetes, to Cloud Run to Azure Container Instances. It seems to show that the market and usage-patterns are still evolving.
