Node.js deployments with 12factor & AWS Lamda

Alex Savchuk (Xero) will talk on AWS Lambda. It is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying infrastructure for you. In this presentation he will give a brief introduction to Lambda, outline some use cases for it, and share some of the gotchas that they have encountered while using Lambda at Xero.

Node.js deployments with 12factor and AWS - Jethro from Fairfax (stuff.co.nz (http://stuff.co.nz/)) takes us through the process of deploying Node.js applications into production in AWS cloud using 12factor.net (http://12factor.net/) principles and technologies such as CodeDeploy, Puppet and autoscaling.

(A basic understanding of AWS and the key services is helpful, but not required)
