Which AWS teams will be there?

Auto Scaling is the service that ensures the right AWS capacity is available at the right time to deliver high performance during demand peaks, and cost savings during demand lulls. Traditionally, planning to deliver a high scale service required building a datacenter, purchasing and managing servers to handle some future planned peak. AWS AutoScaling lets anyone take an application from inception to global scale, and to pay only as demand grows. Everyone can experiment and the best ideas will grow! If you want to be part of this fundamental shift in computing, then Auto Scaling has a place for you.

As one of the most elastic and capable messaging service in the world, Simple Queue Service (SQS) provides AWS customers with the cloud infrastructure for building highly scalable, asynchronous and fault tolerant distributed cloud applications. It’s a core architectural component of the critical systems for Amazon as well as many leading global enterprises running on AWS. If you are passionate about pushing the envelope of big scale, and advancing innovations in distributed fault-tolerant systems, then AWS Simple Queue Service can help you achieve your goal.
