Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. It’s been a while since you smashed servers on stage at a keynote. Tell us a little bit about your background and why you decided to leave AWS and found Vendia.

Topic 2 - The public cloud did a really good job of accelerating application growth, and data sprawl, but it didn’t really organize it very well. So we have apps across multiple clouds and data across multiple clouds. How do companies start to cope with this distributed “mess”?

Topic 3 - When does a customer’s application or data challenges become such that Vendia becomes a way to solve their problem?

Topic 4 - You’re known as Mr. Serverless. What role does Serverless play in the Vendia platform, and what other technologies are under the covers?

Topic 5 - What types of applications make the most sense on the Vendia platform?

Topic 6 - Blockchain is part of the Vendia platform. Why choose this for the backend data vs. some other database or storage technology?
