Architecting for Business Value with AWS Well-Architected

Every cloud solution starts with a business problem, but great architectures are shaped by the trade-offs made along the way.

Join us as we host Belinda Ntinyari for an engaging, practical session where we bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and hands-on cloud execution.
Using a real-world serverless inventory management project built with Python, AWS, and Terraform, we will explore how business requirements directly shape architectural choices. Learn how to leverage the AWS Well-Architected Framework to evaluate trade-offs, avoid common pitfalls, and design solutions that are secure, reliable, and cost-effective.
What We Will Cover:

• Business-Driven Architecture: Translating business metrics (cost, SLAs, scale) into cloud design requirements.
• Evaluating Trade-offs: Deciding when to use serverless components (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway) vs. traditional infrastructure.
• Well-Architected in Practice: Applying the core pillars—Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance, and Cost Optimization—using Terraform and Python.
• Practical Walkthrough: Reviewing backend implementation choices and resilience patterns for modern serverless workloads.
