Serverless Bricks: Building with AWS

Welcome to a new AWS Meetup event for Copenhagen User Group.
In collaboration with the LEGO Group and AWS Denmark, we are pleased to host a physical meetup around servereless and event-driven architectures in an afternoon where you will definitely learn and get inspired.

Please RSVP as number of attendees has a limit of 75 people.

1) Migrating order service from monolith to serverless! | Jackie Nagel
What obstacles could occur when you extract business-critical logic and flow from a well-established monolith to an event-driven microservices architecture on serverless? How do you handle onboarding several event producers and consumers?

In this talk, Jackie will outline how his team successfully executed the migration and share the challenges and the important takeaways from this process.

About Jackie
Senior Engineer - The LEGO Group
Jackie is a senior engineer at The LEGO Group. He has worked in the software engineering industry for more than ten years. He has recently found a fond interest in serverless - especially when applying Domain-Driven Design principles in designing event-driven services.

2) IoT-enabled smoker for great BBQ | Jimmy Dahlqvist
Maintaining a good temperature is important if you want to make really good BBQ. In this dev chat, take a look at how to create an IoT-enabled BBQ smoker using Raspberry Pi and AWS IoT Greengrass. Dive deep into the AWS services you need to create a serverless, event-driven system, using services like AWS IoT Core, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EventBridge that can be used to monitor and notify you when a temperature falls outside of a specified range.

About Jimmy
Head of AWS Technology | AWS Ambassador | AWS Community Builder - Sigma
Jimmy a developer and architect with a great passion for the Cloud in general and AWS in particular.
He started using Amazon Web Services in 2015 and since then became a real AWS-evangelist, leading to him being recognized as AWS Ambassador and Community Builder by AWS. He was also named Next Generation Leader in Cloud by Whizlabs 2021. He loves to share his knowledge with others and think it's really rewarding to see people grow. Every moment of his spare time he spend coding, testing new things, learning, and blogging (https://jimmydqv.com).
He is a coffee-holic so please leave him alone until he had his first cup in the morning.

3) The road to serverless and event-driven architecture at LEGO.com | Sheen Brisals
Connecting the LEGO experience with millions worldwide requires an innovative modern platform. Moving from legacy monolith applications to building modern distributed microservices, the need for event-driven computing becomes ever more critical. There are several facets to why event-driven architecture is central to the serverless applications we build and operate in the cloud.

In this talk, I will explore how the engineering team behind LEGO.com adopted serverless and event-driven architecture. I will explain the best approaches to adopting serverless and how to design, build, and operate event-driven microservices on AWS.
