Talk 1 (20min): Discover the pitfalls of AWS Shared VPC model, with real-world insights.
In this talk, we will delve into the various challenges and issues associated with the AWS Shared VPC model (using RAM). Drawing on real-world experiences, we will explore the complexities and potential pitfalls that organizations may face when implementing this model.

Talk 2 (20min): Run Lambda functions as Docker containers
This presentation delves into the benefits and constraints of opting for Docker containers over traditional packaging when deploying Lambda code. Exploring runtime options, custom binaries, and performance implications, participants will grasp the various factors to weigh before embracing this deployment approach. Additionally, we'll discuss alternative strategies and mitigation methods to tackle the operational hurdles and downsides linked with containerized Lambdas. By the conclusion, attendees will have a solid grasp on when and how to best utilize Lambda containers, equipping them with the confidence to navigate decision-making in this domain.
Speaker: Samuel Durand, Senior Consultant at kreuzwerker, AWS Ambassador (LinkedIn)

Talk 3 (30min): Migrating 600 databases to AWS, making them better, faster & cheaper
In this session CDL an InsurTech from the UK will walk through the entire journey of real-life large-scale database migration from Oracle on premise to PostgreSQL in AWS. We’ll cover the process and share unique details, hits and tips covering zero downtime database migration, change data capture and schema conversion. We’ll show how we made the databases not only cheaper by removing licence costs but also how we sped up our development teams by proving self-service features and made our applications run faster. Finally, we’ll share the extra features we built for PostgreSQL with the AWS Database Freedom team that were missing and how we open sourced these.
Speaker: Matt Houghton, AI, Data & Analytics Architect @ CDL Software, AWS Community Builder, AWS Ambassador. (LinkedIn)
