🔥 TALKS
✅ AI Agents for Analytics: Amazon QuickSight + Q in the Era of Agentic Systems

Christodoulos Xystras, Team Lead, Site Reliability Engineering at XM.

This session explores how Amazon QuickSight and Amazon Q introduce agent-like capabilities into business intelligence—enabling conversational analytics, automated reasoning, and contextual insights. We also position Quick + Q within the broader AWS AI ecosystem, including Amazon Bedrock Agents and AgentCore.

✅ IoT Data to RDS: Connect IoT Core, SQS, and Lambda Without the DIY Headache

Antonis Antoniou, Senior Software Engineer | Principal-Level Scope | Distributed Systems & Platform Architecture.

Connecting IoT devices to a relational database looks straightforward until production traffic arrives. Instead of building a complex, DIY infrastructure with custom MQTT brokers and message queues, this session shows how to compose native AWS managed services.

You will learn to securely route device data using IoT Core, buffer bursts with SQS, and safely write to RDS via Lambda—focusing on your data logic rather than infrastructure glue.
