Time : 11 AM - 1 PM

Agenda:

Session 1: “Lambda Live Debugger and Other Tips and Tricks for Debugging Serverless Applications” by Marko, Full Stack Developer and author of the blog Serverless Life.

Abstract:

In this session, I will demonstrate Lambda Live Debugger. It is a tool I developed for debugging AWS Lambda functions from your computer, even though they are deployed in the cloud. The code runs with the same IAM permissions as in the cloud environment, and there’s no need to redeploy when you make changes or even restart the debugger. It requires almost no configuration. It supports Lambdas written in JavaScript or TypeScript with any framework or setup. It's free and open source.

The second part of the presentation will cover various tips and tricks for debugging serverless applications. Serverless apps are notoriously difficult to debug, as they are split across multiple functions and services. However, with the right techniques and lightweight utilities, you can make the debugging experience as straightforward as with traditional applications — or even easier. I’ll introduce tools like Lambda Logger Extension and Lambda Error SNS Sender, and share other techniques to get the most out of CloudWatch.

Session 2: "Realtime EDA with Appsync Events", by Kishan S, Senior Serverless Developer at Serverless Guru.

Abstract:

In this session, I will covers how to build a real-time voting app for team grooming using AWS AppSync. We'll use GraphQL subscriptions to show live vote updates, and connect AppSync with services like Lambda and DynamoDB to handle events in an event-driven architecture. It's a simple, scalable, and interactive way to manage team decisions in real time.
