AWS User Group Lisbon x #27 Cloud Native Lisbon

AWS User Group Lisbon is back after the summer break, joining forces once again with Cloud Native Lisbon for an evening you won't want to miss.
This edition covers two fronts of modern engineering: putting your cloud native infrastructure to the test, and the game of tokens shaping how we build with AI. Two practitioner talks, good food, and even better conversations.

🗓️ Date: September 15th, 2026
🕡 Time: 18:30
📍 Venue: Gapstars Offices, Lisbon

## 📅 Agenda

18:30 – Check-in, drinks & networking
19:00 – Opening & Community & Partner Intro AWS User Group Lisbon, Cloud Native Lisbon, synvert xgeeks & Gapstars
19:15 – 🎤 Talk 1: Test Your Cloud Native Infrastructure - A discovery journey 👨‍💻 Urbano Freitas – Engineering Manager at Feedzai | DevOps Lisbon Organizer
Abstract - We know a good Testing approach is essential to produce "good" software but whenever we create new cloud native infrastructure assets we tend to skip Testing at all.
In this talk it's explored how to use foundational Software Engineering principles and practices to implement a Testing approach that gives us and organizations more confidence our infrastructure will work as expected.
Starting from the requirements to the production deployment, why, how and when to test.
This talk is compilation of experiences, explorations and experiments. And a hook to promote discussions and joint learning with the community.

19:50 – 🎤 Talk 2: The game of Tokens 👨‍💻 Ifeoluwa Clement – AI Forward Deployed Engineer at SIXT
Abstract - As AI systems grow more capable, tokens are becoming both an engineering and business resource.
In “The Game of Tokens,” I explore how token usage shapes AI architecture, agent design, latency, and cost—through a real-world story of how prompt caching improved performance and created measurable business value.
