The theme for the evening is "Developer Experience" and we'll get two takes on it from Skåne's finest; Serverless Hero Jimmy Dahlqvist, and Community Builder Elias Brange!

Topic 1: /Automate. Serverless and event-driven approach to DevOps
In today’s fast-paced development environments, reducing manual tasks is crucial for productivity and developer experience.

This talk will explore how a fintech market leader in Sweden, created a serverless and event-driven integration with Slack on AWS. Creating a solution, to automate tasks across a multi-account setup. Learn how this journey optimized cost, enhanced productivity and security by eliminating repetitive tasks, by minimizing human error. A key aspect was integrating alarms and notifications directly into Slack, enabling developers to take immediate action on system alerts. We will look at the problems, deep dive into implementation, and the challenges we faced. Join us to gain valuable insights and practical tips for transforming your workflows.
