Dear Community,

July is an exciting month, and we have so much to offer! This month we are collaborating with AWS on Build Games Meetup. We will have our technical sessions as usual, alongside arcade games, good food, drinks, and a great atmosphere!

We are also excited to be part of WAD World Congress - joining as a local community to contribute the agenda of the best days of summer! If you're attending the congress, we will be happy to see you with us. If you don't have a ticket yet, get yours before they are sold out! And we hope to meet you in our community booth! 😎

===================================================

18:45 - Warming up and networking chat
19:00 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin
19:15 - 20:00 - Kennedy Torkura // Fast & Furious: Leveraging AWS Security Services for Effective Threat Detection & Incident Response

This talk shows how to leverage Amazon Security Lake as a centralized security events management system that builds on top of SQL-based queries via AWS Athena.
Furthermore, we demonstrate how Jupyter notebooks can be used to fast-track threat detection and security incident response. We show how security teams can use cloud adversary emulation to run security incident response exercises based on runbooks in the Jupyter notebooks. The adversary emulation allows teams to realistically enhance people, processes, and technological aspects of threat detection and incident response.

20:00 - 20:20 - Network break with snacks & drinks

20:20 - 21:00 - Muhammed Salih Güler // Building a Cloud Powered 2D Arcade Games with Amazon Q CLI

This presentation explores the innovative use of Amazon Q CLI as a development assistant for creating 2D arcade games. By leveraging Amazon Q CLI’s code generation capabilities, contextual understanding, and MCP integration, we will develop a cross-platform game with a hint of cloud.

21:00 - 21:05 - Closing Announcements & Networking
