Presentations

Beating the Real Estate Market with AWS for Fun and Savings - Miles Greenwark
Miles covers how he leveraged AWS to buy a house through web scraping and some 'hacker' techniques, as well as how to architect a similar data pipeline solution more effectively in the future.

From Idea to Online: A Story of Deploying with AWS Fargate - Yi Jiang
This talk shares the story of using AWS Fargate to quickly deploy a secure, containerised web application without managing servers. I’ll break down the key components — containers, task definitions, load balancers, security groups, and SSL — and show how they come together into a production-ready architecture. The session also highlights lessons learned, from rapid delivery to trade-offs in control and cost, and how GitHub Actions and CloudFormation streamlined the pipeline. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of where Fargate fits best and how to apply it for fast, reliable web app delivery.
