Berlin AWS Group Virtual Meetup - May 2021

18:45 - Warming up and networking chat

19:00 - "How many DevOps engineers are required to run a web application on Amazon ECS? Zero!"

International speaker: Ruslan Kosolapov (Plesk)

Speaker bio:
"Program Manager with strong technical background in Web, Software as a Service (SaaS), Hosting, Web Applications, Linux, Clouds, AWS."

Abstract:
"What to do if you want to run your web app on AWS, but have no idea how? Get a SaaS Control Panel that takes care of DevOps! Let me show you the live demo of that.

Once upon a time, I wanted to host a Rust game server on AWS. I asked people, ""how can I do that?"" and got a lot of comments about the complexity of AWS.
I have the same opinion - AWS is complex. We faced with this complexity when we developed our services.
What if there is a simple SaaS control panel for AWS? So you can specify a git repo URL with a Dockerfile, your AWS account, and a couple of options (e.g., autoscaling options, database options, etc.) voila - the solution does all the job to configure and run your web app on AWS."

19:45 - "When event-driven systems meet CSV reports"

Speaker: Michael Wittig (cloudonaut.io)

Speaker bio:
"On a mission to explore AWS. Sharing my insights at cloudonaut.io. Follow me to deepen your AWS knowledge, stay up to date, and be inspired."

Abstract:
"Event-driven architectures come with many benefits. But in the end, the customer asks for a CSV report. An aggregated snapshot of all events. It turns out that AWS provides all the building blocks to turn any event stream into a CSV report. In this talk, you learn to combine SNS, Kinesis Firehose, S3, Step Functions, and Athena to generate CSV reports."
