What we’re about
This is a group for solution architects, developers, and cloud enthusiasts who are interested in serverless technologies. We want to talk about how serverless architecture and serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda can make things easier, cheaper, and help to accelerate development of projects.
Check out the following blog posts for more information on what this serverless thing is all about:
Serverless: The Future of Software Architecture?
How can serverless architecture help you?
Serverless architecture allows developers to focus on code and their business problem rather than spending time looking after backend infrastructure.
Serverless architecture can help developers build scalable, high-performing, and cost-effective applications quickly. Want to write autonomous microservices? Serverless is perfect for that. Want to run a bunch of scripts in the cloud to do a bit of processing? That's cool too!
Serverless applications can grow, scale, and evolve naturally. Developers do not have to worry about low-level detail, ever.
Traditional architecture requires servers that do not necessarily run at full capacity all of the time. Serverless can be much more granular. With Lambda you only pay for what you use.
Serverless architecture allows for reduction in the amount of layers and code that one finds in a monolithic application. Less code = more robust systems.
Our group will discuss all kinds of technologies that can enable serverless architecture from Lambda to Auth0, from Firebase to IBM BlueMix OpenWhisk, from API Gateway to the serverless framework. Whether you are an expert or just wish to learn what serverless architecture is all about - come and join us. We think you'll love it!

September Serverless Meetup - Special Event
The September Serverless Meetup is a special event hosted at The Events Hub (NAB) at 395 Bourke Street at 6pm.
We have Eric (edjgeek) Johnson, the Principal Developer Advocate at AWS, join us to give a talk and meet the community. Eric is coming all the way from the USA, so we hope you can join us too.
Eric Johnson bio:
Hello! I am Eric Johnson. I am a developer at heart who has spent the past three decades learning and growing in the technology space, including 15 years as a solutions architect. My greatest satisfaction comes from sharing knowledge and empowering others, combining my technical experience with a light-hearted style to help make complex concepts more approachable. As an enthusiastic advocate for serverless technologies, I deliver keynote presentations and workshops at conferences worldwide, where I use humor to keep audiences engaged while exploring technical topics. My belief that learning works best when people are having fun helps bridge the gap between technical complexity and practical understanding.Session info
Title: Building Intelligent Agents at Scale: A Serverless Architecture ApproachSynopsis: Ready to build AI agents that scale infinitely without managing servers? In this session, I'll build an agentic application using serverless architecture, demonstrating how Lambda functions serve as MCP servers while the broader serverless ecosystem handles multi-model reasoning, persistent memory, and RAG-powered responses. You'll see real-time decision-making as I explain my architectural choices—when to implement RAG vs direct model calls, how to structure MCP servers for different capabilities, and why certain patterns work better in serverless environments.
But here's the meta twist: I'll use cloud-native AI tools and specialized MCP connectors to literally build agents with agents, creating a development feedback loop that accelerates the construction process. Through Infrastructure-as-Code deployment, you'll witness how to prototype complete agentic architectures in minutes while maintaining production-ready serverless patterns.---
