AWS User Group Berlin Session - September 2025

Dear Community,

The new fiscal year is starting, and we are thrilled to begin our regular sessions featuring two interesting topics! Cast AI, together with DKB is sponsoring us and we gather at super cool DKB Code Factory.

For further information, check out the details below, and we look forward to having all of you with us!

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

18:30 - Warming up and networking chat
18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin
19:00 - 19:45 - Kim-Norman Sahm & Michael Walorski // How DKB Optimizes Cloud Infrastructure at Scale with Automation

Managing cloud infrastructure across multiple teams and environments is complex, especially when a single department is responsible for all infrastructure operations.
In this talk, we’ll share how we addressed this challenge and improved our resource usage by integrating K8s automation into our existing workflows, enabling full onboarding across environments with minimal disruption.

19:45 - 20:05 - Network break with snacks & drinks

20:05 - 20:50 - Lisa Mischer // Serverless MCP Servers

The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in late 2024, provides a standardized way for AI to interact with external resources. In the AWS context, this means users can manage S3 objects, query DynamoDB, retrieve RDS data, and trigger workflows simply by chatting with AI clients.
In this session, I will show how to build custom and serverless MCP servers with AWS Lambda, as well as how to secure these servers through AWS Cognito authentication. You'll leave with practical knowledge of how to implement AI-powered AWS interactions while maintaining enterprise security standards.

20:50 - 21:00 - Closing Announcements & Networking
