AWS UG Dublin is delighted to welcome a stellar cast of Serverless Superheros who are descending on Dublin for our April meetup.

Valiantly taking the stage will be Danilo Poccia, renowned Author & Technical Evangelist at Amazon Web Services, followed by a fearless Adrian Trenaman, CTO of HBC Digital. Closing the evening we'll have a dramatic entrance by Paul Johnston, CTO of @Movivo who is taking time off his busy duties to discuss his serverless secrets in some depth.

Get ready for a night of swooping deep-dives into the rapidly evolving world of Serverless application design, development and deployment.

As a signed-up member of the Dublin AWS User Group we ask only that you show up on time & be inspired by the talks.

Actually, we also ask that you enjoy the networking with other UG members, the free food, the free drinks (thanks to our sponsors!), the prize draw, background music and SWAG.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Don't forget to RSVP!

Serverless for Developers Serverless architectures allow you to build and run applications and services without having to manage infrastructure. You no longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your applications, databases, and storage systems. But what about development?

We are now more than two years in with tools such as AWS Lambda and what are the best practices to share from a development perspective?

In this session you will see some of the key points that can empower a serverless developer, such as event-driven design and management tools.
