Featured topics:
Move to managed databases: Self-managing databases, either on premises or in the cloud, can be time-consuming, complex, and expensive. With AWS fully managed database services, you don’t need to worry about server provisioning, patching, setup, configuration, backups, or recovery. Instead, you can spend time innovating and building new applications and leave the infrastructure management to AWS. Attend this session to learn how AWS databases can help you easily maintain infrastructure and break free from managing legacy systems, all while delivering operational efficiency, performance, availability, scalability, security, and compliance.
Purpose-built databases for modern applications: Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases. We are increasingly seeing customers wanting to build scalable applications that require diverse data models. In response to these needs, companies now have the choice of relational, key-value, wide column, document, in-memory, graph, time-series, and ledger databases. Each solves a specific problem or group of problems. Come learn about AWS purpose-built databases that meet the scale, performance, and manageability requirements of modern applications.
Modernise your data warehouse: Cloud data warehouses are less expensive, easier to use, and faster than on-premises data warehouses, and they have an easy migration process that leverages SQL skills. In this session, learn about the “lake house” approach, the approach that AWS recommends for data warehousing that combines the best of both a data warehouse and a data lake approach to analytics. Learn how you can migrate to the cloud, unlock better performance, and increase functionality while reducing your expenditure.
Raw data to business insights - An introduction to modern data lakes: You have lots of data, and analysing data from multiple sources at scale requires a central repository or data lake. But how will you move data into it? Why cannot you just use a traditional Data Warehouse? Will this scale when you have twice -or ten times- as much data? Can you create reports via drag and drop? Can operations monitor what’s going on? Is your data secure? In this session, we address common pitfalls of building data lakes and show how AWS can help you manage data and analytics more efficiently, so your team can focus on adding value to the business instead of doing undifferentiating maintenance work.

Agenda
10:00 - 11:00 CI/CD for Serverless Applications
About the session
To get the most out of the agility afforded by serverless, it is essential to build CI/CD pipelines that help teams iterate on code and quickly release features. In this talk, we demonstrate how you can use infrastructure-as-code (IaC) models to build effective CI/CD release workflows to manage serverless deployments on AWS, using tools like AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS CodeDeploy.
Specifically, we focus on how to automate safer deployments that can be monitored and rolled back automatically.

11:15 - 12:15 Infrastructure as Code Deep Dive
About the session
DevOps teams are increasingly using the same methods to push configuration updates to production the same way that they update application code. This block covers what declarative configuration means for a modern application.

13:45 - 14:45 End-to-End Observability to Better Understand Your Serverless Apps
About the session
How deeply can you understand what is happening *inside* your application? To quickly identify and debug issues in distributed architectures, it’s critical to monitor each component, be alarmed in case of unexpected behavior, and be updated on the overall communication between modules. In this session, we show how to have the necessary instrumentation, in the configuration and in the application code, and how to use the data you collect to have a better grasp of your production environment, from low level infrastructure view to business oriented outcomes.
