Application modernization workshop

Learn technology best practices and explore art-of-the-possible business transformation through our architect-led technical and ideation workshop.

This workshop, led with Onica by Rackspace Technology architects, will provide your teams with baseline knowledge of serverless technologies, modern architectures and development workflows designed to help you fast-track the adoption of modern application development.

We’ll help you gain familiarity with AWS serverless technologies, event-driven architectures and development workflows. We’ll walk you through how to build a serverless application, including API design, authentication and authorization, as well as how to promote between development and production environments. We will then work with your team on identifying a pilot project based on your business use case through an ideation and roadmap whiteboarding session.

By the end of the workshop, your team will have hands-on experience building serverless applications with several purpose-built AWS services:

Through this 2-day immersive workshop, you will:

- Learn practical implementation of concepts of cloud native computing, networking, and architecture
- Choose cloud native technologies that work for your development teams
- Understand how to use containers, serverless and other cloud native tech in a secure and manageable way
- Practice hands on with actual cloud services in real cloud native scenarios
- Leave with a planned PoC on cloud native, based on a real business case

Thank you!

Onica will be in contact with you soon.
