AWS User Group Gold Coast meetup, 7th May

Remember those times when everyone spoke about serverless? All the hype around AI, but serverless, event-driven architecture, and Lambdas specifically are keeping evolving. Come to learn about AWS Lambda Durable Functions.

Also, continuing our tradition with the open mic! Got three to five slides to show? Let us know so we can plan accordingly. No slides? No problem — just bring your story.

Everything else stays the same: great people, good conversations, and of course... 🍕Pizza and 🍺Beer are on us!

📅 Save the Date: 7th May 2026
🕒 Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm (doors open from 5:00pm)
📍 Location: COHORT Innovation Space at 16 Nexus Way, Southport, 4215

🚀 Agenda:
🎤 Adrian Hunter, AWS Enterprise Solutions Architect — What's New in AWS
🎤 Nick Barclay, AWS Solutions Architect — Lambda Durable Functions.
You've hit the 15-minute timeout. You've bolted state onto DynamoDB. You've built a Step Function for what should've been 30 lines of code. Enter Lambda Durable Functions — automatic checkpointing, built-in retries, and suspension without burning compute. This session breaks down how they work, walks through the SDK operations, and demos them live.
🎤 Open Mic

See you there!
