AWS User Group Returns!

Hi Folks! After a 3.5 year pandemic induced hiatus the AWS User Group for the South East returns on Wednesday November 22nd in Boxworks at 6:30pm. We will begin with food and kick the talks off just after 7pm. I'm delighted to announce we have AWS Serverless Hero Luciano Mammino as a speaker for our first event back. Luciano is going to do a deep dive on writing Lambda Functions in Rust!

If you are a seasoned AWS Pro or just starting your cloud journey everyone is welcome! Come along and learn something new and chat to like minded people!

"Writing Lambdas in Rust"
by Luciano Mammino, Senior Architect, fourTheorem

Rust is taking the software engineering world by storm, but how does it affect serverless? In AWS it’s not even a supported runtime, so how can we even use it… and should we even try to do that? Spoiler: Yes we should and it’s actually quite easy to get started with it! In this talk we will cover: What is Serverless and why it's cool, What is AWS Lambda, use cases and limitations, Lambda pricing model, Lambda and CPU allocation, Lambda execution model, Why using Rust with Lambda is a good idea, Cargo-Lambda and how to integrate it with SAM for Infrastructure as Code, Writing our first lambda, testing it locally and deploying it. In addition to all of this, we will deep dive into the Lambda interface and how we can fine-tune the Lambda request and response types to our needs. By the end of this talk, you should be ready to write and deploy your first Lambda written in Rust!
