What weāre about
We champion the pursuit of Business Agility, not by "Sprinting" faster, but by embracing the Serverless Mindset, Serverless Technologies, SaaS services, and Modern Data Stack (MDS). This community is dedicated to fostering collaboration & continuous learning, with a mission to bridge the gap between IT and Business needs. Besides offering free Cloud learning events for Engineers, we provide complimentary Cloud Architecture and Data Engineering advice to Executives worldwide. We also actively connect community members looking for work with opportunities in the Cloud.
IT'S ALL ABOUT PASSION
Sometimes we're good at things we don't really care for, but it's that passion that will drive us to succeed. Steve Jobs once said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."
So, if you found your passion (related to IT), please tell us about it. If you're still searching, check us out. You may find it here ā because we cover a variety of forward-looking IT topics.

If you are an Executive in need of "Emergency Advice," here is WHY & HOW we can help you:
- Thanks to our vast IT experience fed by Passion, Curiosity and the Serverless Mindset, we know that
- Technology is not the point. The reason that we're doing this ā any of this, is in service of some business goal.
- The Customer value that your organization is trying to create is the point!

TRY US OUT:
- We'll uncover hidden opportunities to improve your business results (because we can see your options Further than traditional IT Architects).

- Second Opinion engagement will deliver results quickly!
- Serverless Toronto "Second Opinion" engagements are confidential, can be arranged on a flat-fee or hourly basis (your call), and require NO long-term commitment to us.
