◭ Alex DeBrie - Picking a database for your serverless application in 2021

In the 6+ years since AWS announced Lambda, developers have been eagerly adopting serverless applications. But the database story around serverless has always been nuanced with various tradeoffs to consider. In this talk, we'll look at the serverless database landscape as it stands in 2021 to help you decide which database you should choose.

Alex is an AWS Data Hero and self-employed AWS consultant and trainer. He is the author of The DynamoDB Book, a comprehensive guide to data modeling with DynamoDB. Previously, he worked for Stedi and for Serverless, Inc., creators of the Serverless Framework. He loves being involved in the AWS & serverless community, and he lives in Omaha, NE with his family.

◭ Tim Suchanek - Prisma in React Server Components

Tim is a software engineer from Sauerland in Germany. He studied computer science at the Karlsrühe Institute for Technology. As he’s passionate about startups and new ideas, he afterward moved to Berlin. Since 2016, he has been working at Prisma and leads the TypeScript efforts there.

◭ Matija Šošić - Wasp - DSL for building web apps with Prisma, React & Node.js

Wasp is a simple language for developing full-stack web apps - developers describe high-level features with Wasp DSL and write the rest of their logic in Prisma, React, and Node.js.
In this talk, we will discuss how Wasp was implemented (its compiler is built in Haskell), what interesting technical challenges we encountered when building own DSL, future vision, and how Prisma’s declarative nature makes it a great fit for Wasp.
Matija holds a Comp Sci MSc from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and is an experienced software engineer with experience in various areas, from writing bioinformatics algorithms for GPUs to web development and compilers. Currently, Matija is working together with his twin brother Martin on Wasp - YCombinator backed company with a goal of streamlining web app development.
