Alameda County discovered it had some limitations with its election-reporter viewer. In 2014 disaster struck for the County when it was discovered that the on-premises servers that were built using GIS crashed when it was uploading the first set of results during that year's election cycle.
They knew they couldn’t have the same thing happen for 2016, but the estimates for updating the GIS powered application was estimated to be around $20,000 plus the cost of managing and purchasing new server infrastructure. Serverless was their solution, but was it the right one? Take a dive into this case study with our hosts Ryan Jones, and Joshua Proto, and see what Alameda County did right, wrong, and what kind of lasting impacts their experiment with Serverless could have in the future.
