🎤 Meetup Track

✅ Lessons Learned Deploying an LLM-Powered Knowledge Assistant
📌 Speaker: Hairizuan Noorazman, DevOps Engineer

Engineering teams often lose time navigating fragmented Jira and Confluence documentation. To address this, an LLM-powered chatbot was built on AWS — using ECR, EKS, and Amazon Bedrock.

The initial RAG approach quickly surfaced critical issues such as data leakage in vector stores, prompt injection, and broken access controls. This session breaks down these failure modes and explores a pivot to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration with Atlassian, allowing queries over live data instead of duplicating it.

Attendees will gain practical insights into RAG vs MCP trade-offs and a reference AWS architecture for building safer LLM systems.

✅ Kiro IDE Best Practices in SDLC and Scrum Sprint DevSecOps
📌 Speaker: Tim Wu, Senior GTM Specialist SA AI/ML

An AI-powered development environment that embeds enterprise standards directly into your workflow. See how Kiro transforms traditional SDLC approaches through its Five-Element Architecture, making compliance, security, and best practices automatic rather than afterthoughts. Kiro provides ready-to-use configurations that enforce guardrails while accelerating development. This session focuses on live demonstrations to show you exactly how steering files, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP integrations work together in real enterprise scenarios.

✅ Running AI agents that control computers: AWS architecture for sandboxed autonomous execution
📌 Speaker: Sahil Sharma, Applied AI Enthusiast

Agents that browse, click, and type need more than an API call- they need isolated sandboxes, warm container pools, and an architecture that scales. This deep dive covers how 14 AWS services come together to run autonomous computer-use agents safely and fast in production.
