Using Amazon Cognito and AWS Lambda to replace a traditional mobile app backend

Networking Reception with Pizza & Beer starts at 5:30 PM.

The tech talk will start promptly at 6:15 PM.

Amazon Cognito is an identity federation and data synchronization service for mobile developers. Come and meet one of the developers of Amazon Cognito, Bob Kinney. Bob will be presenting some basics of how both the identity and synchronization service operate as well as how they can be used in conjunction with other AWS Mobile services, such as SNS and Lambda, to build full-featured mobile applications without the use of a traditional dedicated backend.

Upon the conclusion of Bob’s tech talk, there will be a live demo of AWS Lambda.
