Builders Skill Sprint - Serverless Month

Join us for an exciting, knowledge-packed session featuring two AWS Serverless Heroes as they dive into building powerful serverless applications with AI and monitoring best practices. Whether you're just starting out with serverless or looking to scale intelligently, this event has something for everyone.

### 🎯 Part 1: Building an AI-Powered Photo Gallery with Serverless and Event-Driven Magic

👨‍💻 Speaker: Srushith Repakula
Head of Engineering, KonfHub | AWS Serverless Hero | Organizer - AWS User Group Tirupati
Discover how to build a smart and scalable photo gallery without managing a single server! Srushith will walk you through building an intelligent photo pipeline using AWS services like S3, Lambda, Rekognition, SQS, and Step Functions. Learn to automatically compress images, detect faces, and enable face-based search — all using an event-driven architecture.

### 🛠️ Part 2: Wish I Had Enabled Monitoring and Observability for My Serverless App Earlier!

👨‍💻 Speaker: Jones Zachariah Noel N
Senior Developer Relations Engineer, New Relic | AWS Serverless Hero
Serverless doesn't mean invisible. Jones explores the critical need for observability in modern cloud-native applications. He'll cover how to implement logs, metrics, and traces — the three pillars of observability — in serverless environments. Learn how to detect issues before they escalate, set up alerts, and debug performance problems across distributed, event-driven services.

### 🎤 Part 3: Podcast-Style Expert Q&A

🎙️ Moderator: Avinash Dalvi
Senior Staff Engineer, Nushift Technologies
💬 Panelists: Srushith Repakula & Jones Zachariah Noel N
Cap off the evening with an interactive panel discussion! Our expert moderator will guide a relaxed, podcast-style conversation between Srushith and Jones, diving deeper into architectural trade-offs, tool choices, and implementation strategies.
