AWS for Builders: From Cloud to Code with Kiro

Modern software development is evolving rapidly with AI-assisted development and cloud-native architectures.

Yet many developers still write code without a structured workflow, making projects difficult to scale, maintain, and collaborate on.

Join AWS User Group Bhopal for an interactive, hands-on workshop where you'll explore Kiro, AWS's specification-driven AI IDE, and learn how to build applications using a structured, production-ready development approach.

Rather than simply generating code, you'll discover how to transform ideas into well-defined specifications, user stories, technical designs, and working applications using AI-powered development workflows.

Throughout the workshop, participants will build a real application while learning modern software engineering practices that improve quality, maintainability, and team collaboration.

🎯 What You'll Learn

• Introduction to Kiro and specification-driven development
• Setting up and navigating the Kiro IDE
• Converting ideas into structured requirements
• Creating specifications, user stories, and technical designs
