Alex Ellis is the Founder of OpenFaaS, an open-source project focused on making it simple to deploy serverless functions with containers. Alex tells stories of breaking the family computer with Linux, hacking his school and the challenges he faced as a teenage programmer. We learn all about what led him to create OpenFaaS and the barriers you encounter when trying to grow an open-source project.
