AWS re:Invent 2025 re:Cap

AWS re:Invent 2025 has just wrapped up in Las Vegas, marking a major shift into the era of Agentic AI and next-gen cloud infrastructure. Join the AWS Serverless Budapest community for this special meetup as we bring the most impactful announcements back home!

This year, 2 speakers will guide you through the breadth of new features that are transforming the cloud landscape. Instead of a single deep dive, our focus is to explore the fresh opportunities available to builders right now. We will cover the practical—such as the new Database Savings Plans, Regional NAT Gateways, and CloudFront pricing updates—alongside the cutting-edge, including Amazon Nova models, AWS Transform, and the autonomous DevOps and Security Agents.
From Global Infrastructure and EU Sovereign Cloud updates to the latest in Compute (EKS, ECS Express) and Networking (Post-Quantum TLS, VPC Lattice), we’ll look at how these changes fit into your real-world architecture. Come for the news, stay for the demos, and catch up with the community vibe!
