A big Step (Function) Forward - (Rich House - Software Developer, Community Builder and Mental Health First Aider)

This Re:Invent saw two great announcements for Step Functions: the ability to call third party HTTP endpoints directly, and a Test state capability for testing individual steps. In this talk I'll delve into how this can help speed up your development, cut down costs and all round better developer experience using Step Functions; using live demos and real world examples.

Distributed systems demystified through observability! - (Alex Hunter - Head of Architecture and SRE @ BPP)

In this talk, I'll discuss observability engineering and its evolution to tackle challenges in highly distributed systems. I'll share our experiences, highlight unique hurdles, and demonstrate with real code examples how tools like AWS's Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) help us navigate some of these complexities.
