We’re wrapping up the season with a bang—and a blast of serverless power! 🚀
Join us for two dynamic sessions that will take you from best practices to real-world architecture design, followed by 🍕, networking, and vibrant community energy.📚 The Talks
✅ 10 Must-Know Best Practices for Serverless Developers
Speaker: Lefteris Karageorgiou
Level: 200
Do you want to take advantage of the full power of serverless architectures for your production workloads? Have you been trying to tune your applications for higher performance and lower cost? In this session, Lefteris Karageorgiou, will share architectural best practices, optimizations, and useful shortcuts that experts can use to build secure, high-scale, and high-performance serverless applications.🛠️ Choose your own Architecture
Speaker: Thanasis Daglis
Level: 200
Now that we’ve seen the theory, let’s put it to the test. In this (semi) interactive session, Thanasis Daglis will walk us through a real-world scenario where we'll attempt to design and build a service to meet demanding scaling and cost requirements. Together, we’ll explore multiple AWS architecture options (some clever, some terrible), experiment, learn how to balance trade-offs in scaling, cost, and complexity, and work our way toward a solution that checks all the boxes.🎤 Meet Our Speakers
