Hi Architects,

Welcome to our next AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group Meetup for 2025, including more exceptional speakers and topics! :-D

At each meetup we covered off various pillars in detail, best-practices and insights from industry leaders that specialise in the Well-Architected Framework.

And giving away drones, of course. Lots of drones.

Our speakers this month include:

* **Geza George Papp, Platform Lead, Co-Founder, LogLeads**

**Well-Architected Log analysis: 6 pipelines deep and one breaks down…**
We'll dive into how LogLeads Logverz used AWS platform capabilities to build a serverless data logging pipeline. This session will cover off the motivation behind creating Logverz, a readily available tool that is designed to be extremely cheap to operate and easy to use, increasing security, performance and reliability.

* **Mystery Speaker**

**Resilience the Well-Architected Way**
In this talk, we dive deep into the reliability and resilience pillar of Well-Architected best-practices with some recommendations, tools and customer stories.

This month's menu will include:

* Pizzas
* Beer: Nastro Azzuro
* Wine: Big and red 🤤

NB: Please check in up the stairs from the ground floor to the Mezzanine Level.

So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm **SHARP** start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and friendly networking after our talks :-)

Hi Architects,

Welcome to our next AWS Sydney Well-Architected User Group Meetup for 2025, including more exceptional speakers and topics! :-D

At each meetup we covered off various pillars in detail, best-practices and insights from industry leaders that specialise in the Well-Architected Framework.

And giving away drones, of course. Lots of drones. Last month we gave away 6! 🥳

The speakers for this month!

* **Lindsay Holmwood, Chief Product and Technology Officer, CipherStash**

**Protecting sensitive data in DynamoDB with searchable encryption**
As architects, data security is a non-negotiable attribute of our solution designs. The traditional go-to technique to protect data is to build layers of controls around sensitive data. But there is always a constraint: sensitive data must be stored in plaintext. What if we could encrypt it and perform range, match, and unique queries without ever decrypting it? This would allow us to exceed the design principles of the Security Pillar and protect data in transit, at rest, and *in-use*.

In this talk you will learn:

* Why traditional encryption doesn’t give you the security outcomes you think it does
* What searchable encryption is, and how it works in DynamoDB (and PostgreSQL)
* How to use unique keys for every value you encrypt, while keeping your workloads fast and reliable

* **Mystery Speaker**

**Resilience the Well-Architected Way**
In this talk, we dive deep into the reliability and resilience pillar of Well-Architected best-practices with some recommendations, tools and customer stories.

So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm **SHARP** start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and friendly networking after our talks :-)
