March 2026 AWS UG Leipzig

We’re excited to invite you to our next AWS User Group meetup on March 05 starting at 6:00 PM. This time, we’ll be hosted by Unite (formerly Mercateo).

First Talk: How to make IT on-call less troublesome: faster answers, better sleep, fewer escalations
Speaker: Bent Krause (Solution Architect AWS)

What if on-call alerts came with a diagnosis instead of just a symptom? The AWS DevOps Agent investigates incidents automatically, analyzes logs, checks metrics, and traces dependencies across AWS services. By the time your pager dragged you out of bed, the agent had already identified the root cause and prepared remediation steps. In this session we will understand the capabilities of the service and take a look at an interactive demo.

Second Talk: Deep Dive on AWS Lambda durable functions
Speaker: Michael Gasch (Senior Product Manager AWS)

AWS Lambda durable functions enhances Lambda's programming model to simplify building fault-tolerant applications using familiar programming language patterns in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python. We'll explore new capabilities that simplify failure handling through built-in retry mechanisms, efficient handling of human-in-the-loop interactions, and state management to track progress. Through an interactive demo, you'll see how to get started with Lambda durable functions in your IDE, and use primitives like “steps” and “waits” for state management, failure handling, and seamless execution of long-running business logic. Leave equipped to leverage durable functions for your next project, simplifying architectures and deliver fault-tolerant applications faster.
