Last night I attended my first Docker Cambridge meet-up as part of an evening on Serverless Functions Made Simple with OpenFaaS. > [OpenFaaS](https://www.openfaas.com) is the only Serverless Functions project which has native support for both Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. On the agenda was my introductory talk on Serverless Functions Made Simple and a talk from [Nic Jackson](https://twitter.com/sheriffjackson), Developer Advocate at Hashicorp on Nomad + OpenFaaS. Nic told of how we met at [Cloud Native London](https://www.meetup.com/Cloud-Native-London/) a few months ago which inspired him to bring OpenFaaS to Hashicorp's enterprise customers > Checkout Nic's book on [Microservices with Go](https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/building-microservices-go). The meet-up was held at a trendy cocktail bar called Baroosh just a few minutes' walk away from Jesus Lane in the centre of the city. We saw around 45 people turn up - eager to find out how they could start using Serverless Functions with their existing Docker deployments.

If you live near Cambridge or are in the area then sign-up for the meet-up (run by Will Hall) - https://www.meetup.com/docker-cambridge/events/243206434/ You can take the train to Cambridge but I drove and found good, cheap parking at [Park Street](https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/park-street-car-park). > Docker Inc has an office in Cambridge, so a bonus of attending this meet-up is bumping into some of the engineers behind Docker for Mac and [LinuxKit](https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/). ## Grab my slides
