Wed all love to live in a serverless utopia where functions zoom like speed trains through the cloud. For now, though, most have an on-premises ball and chain tethering us to the Earth. Can we at least enjoy a slice of serverless heaven that will help modernize our hybridized information-technology environments?

You have all those big companies that have those slow-moving pieces Oracle DB, IBM MQand so on and they need to make those pieces relevant in a fast-moving internalized world and in a cloud-native world. How do you bridge that gap? askedSebastien Goasguen(pictured, right), co-founder and chief product officer of TriggerMesh Inc.

The answer, according toGoasguen, is with thelight but powerful integration capabilities of a serverless event bus. In fact, he argues, event-driven applications are the real desired end product of serverless-computing efforts.

Goasguen, along withMark Hinkle(pictured, left), co-founder and chief executive officer of TriggerMesh, spoke withStu Miniman, host oftheCUBE, SiliconANGLE Medias livestreaming studio, for a CUBE Conversation at our studio in Boston, Massachusetts.They discussed TriggerMeshs EveryBridge announcementthis morning and how to pragmatically fold serverless into hybrid IT.

To address what it saw as serverless computings integration problems, TriggerMesh set out to build a new sort of integration platform as a service. At the core of its offering is Kubernetes, the open-source platform for orchestrating containers (a virtualized method for running distributed applications).

The name TriggerMesh came from the idea that you trigger serverless functions and you [then] mesh architectures, whether they be legacy applications or cloud services or other serverless clouds across the fabric of the internet, Hinkle explained.

The company has announced a beta release of EveryBridge a cloud-native integration platform utilizing a serverless event bus with hosted access (not to be confused with Amazon Web Services Inc.s EventBridge). The platform allows users to construct applications as event flows with bridges that connect event sources to targets wherever they reside on-premises, in the cloud and the like. It achieves this with Kubernetes for cross-environment mobility and a new application program interface.

You want as much serverless as possible in the cloud but you have to deal with your on-premises databases and workloads and so on. So you have to be a pragmatic,Goasguen concluded.
