About us

Welcome to Auckland AWS Tools and Programming meetup group!

We're a group of developers, programmers, and other tech professionals passionate about AWS technology. We want to enable the opportunity for our community to come together to learn, discuss and share knowledge about AWS tools and best practices.

This meetup would include presentations and demos of tools, frameworks and services within the AWS ecosystem, and its focus would be on practical, hands-on learning and knowledge-sharing. The sessions will be interactive, where attendees can participate, share their experiences and collaborate on solutions if they like.

Our thoughts are to cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, infrastructure within AWS, security, migrations, data, serverless, and more.

We are always looking for new speakers and topics, so if you are interested in presenting or have a suggestion, please let us know!

    The Knowledge Graph Edition: With a Side of Container Security

    Pushpay Office, Level 19, Vero Centre, 48 Shortland Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland, NZ

    Hello everyone,

    We're excited to invite you to the April Auckland AWS Tools and Programming meetup!
    This month, we're thrilled to host
    Stuart Wilson (Principal Engineer @ Pushpay) and Dinesh Sharma (Regional Practice Lead @ Datacom).

    The first part of the night will feature Stuart speaking on:

    Knowledge is still power: Building your company knowledge graph
    Everyone's suddenly talking about knowledge graphs, but what are they and how do you get one? Pushpay has been building theirs since before it was cool. Join Stuart for a talk on what they are, why you need one, and a practical live demonstration of how to build one for your company, project, or family. Get ahead of the curve and give your AI-enabled engineers superpowers before the crowd catches up.

    The second part will feature Dinesh speaking on:

    Trust No Image: ECS Supply Chain Security
    Your container pipeline is only as secure as the images running in it. See how AWS Signer, Lambda, and DevopsAgent work together to bring verified, tamper-proof deployments to ECS.
