Welcome to the next 2026 AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group Meetup!

Wed, Jul 22, 7:30 AM

From AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group

4.6

Hi Architects, Welcome to our next AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group Meetup for 2026, 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. **Please also note that AWS Security now requests a company name and company email where it is available. If you are a student, please list your institution and your student email address at that institution 👍** We'll be announcing more speakers on [https://well-architected.me](https://well-architected.me/) and previewing presentations during the coming weeks - our speakers and details this month include: * **Nitin Yadav\, Founder & Principal\, Nuvrix\.ai \| AWS Ambassador** **Productionising an AI Workload, the Well-Architected Way** Most AI workloads make it to demo. Far fewer make it to production, and the ones that struggle usually have nothing wrong with the model. The architecture around it just wasn't built for the real world. In this session, Nitin walks through what it actually takes to take an AI workload from POC to production on AWS, using the Well-Architected Framework as the lens. Covering cost controls, security guardrails, observability, and reliability for non-deterministic systems, with practical patterns you can apply immediately. * **SkillzLab Build Gen AI Well-Architected Reviews** **Well-Architecting App Build-off Review!** In this session, we will have review the apps from the previous session and perform AWS Gen AI Well-Architected Framework Reviews, with the drone going to the most **Gen AI Well-Architected** app on the night. This month's menu will include: * Pizzas * Beer: Nastro Azzurro * 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 :-) Tired of Linkedin’s "thought leadership”, spam and advertising?

Intro to RAG with Amazon AgentCore

Wed, Jul 8, 8:00 AM

From Melbourne AWS Programming and Tools Meetup

4.7

In this hands-on workshop, you'll go from raw embeddings to a fully deployed, production-ready RAG agent on AWS — no prior RAG or AgentCore experience needed. We'll build a real document Q&A system, stage by stage: * **Basic RAG from scratch** — embed documents yourself with Amazon Titan Text Embeddings V2, store them in a local FAISS index, retrieve with cosine similarity, and generate answers with Claude. * **Bedrock Knowledge Bases** — swap the DIY pipeline for a fully managed service that handles chunking, embedding, and indexing (OpenSearch Serverless) from an S3 data source, with hybrid search and metadata filtering. Compare the results against your hand-built version. * **AgentCore Agent** — wrap your RAG into a Strands agent, containerize it, push to ECR, and deploy to AgentCore Runtime with session isolation, auto-scaling, and streaming. * **Production hardening** — add AgentCore Memory for conversation continuity, instrument with OpenTelemetry for traces in CloudWatch, run a RAG evaluation suite, and expose your knowledge base as a Gateway MCP tool. By the end you'll have a deployed, invokable RAG agent on AgentCore Runtime — with memory, full observability, and a real feel for the tradeoffs at every layer, from local FAISS to managed production. What to bring: * Laptop with Python 3.11+ (managed via uv) and AWS CLI v2 installed * An AWS account Skill level: Intermediate — some Python and basic AWS familiarity helpful. No prior RAG or agent development experience required.

Importance of IDPs in the Era of AI

Thu, Jul 16, 8:00 AM

From Platform Engineers | Melbourne

4.6

As AI tools dramatically accelerate code generation, the bottleneck in software delivery is shifting from writing code to securing, managing, and deploying it. This talk explores why Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are more critical now than ever. We will discuss how an effective IDP acts as the essential safety net against "AI sprawl," providing the automated guardrails, standardized templates, and compliance checks needed to handle the massive influx of AI-generated code. Drawing on real-world patterns from OpenChoreo, an open-source IDP built for the AI era, attendees will learn how to build structured, scalable platforms that reduce cognitive load and transform chaotic, rapid-fire AI development into paved paths for reliable enterprise productivity. Walk away with a clear framework for evaluating and evolving your IDP strategy as AI adoption accelerates.

Naarm Solarpunk Meetup

Wed, Jul 15, 8:00 AM

From Merri-bek Tech

4.9

[Merri-bek Tech](https://www.merri-bek.tech/), a group in the inner northern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne), invites everyone involved interested in tinkering with grass-roots technologies in support of a **Sustainable**, **Resilient** and **Just** future - to join us for the **Naarm Solarpunk Meetup** in a new location in Carlton. This time we are meeting on the Mezzanine Level at Melbourne Connect, 700 Swanston St. More details below. Following on from our workshop in June we will be doing some hands-on hacking as well as welcoming everyone who wants to talk further about getting involved in the group or finding out more about positive, grassroots tech futures. On the night we will be doing, * Merri-tek LoRes Node install and setup, support and general questions * Raspberry Pi setups * Linux OS installs * Your sustainable, resilient and/or just project :) MBT members will also be ready to talk further about what we do, what we hope to do and how you can join in. **About the Naarm Solarpunk group** Some of us are technologists, and will be showing off software or hardware projects, and others are more interested in community organizing, responding to the climate crisis, or building local resilience. Whatever your area of interest, or your level of skill, you're absolutely welcome to dive in. At the meetups we'll have a show-and-tell time for any projects that you're working on, as well as occasional short presentations. The space will be hosted by volunteers, and we'll actively work towards inclusion through applying a [code of conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/). Merri-bek Tech has some projects that you might be interested in updates from, including our attempt to build P2P mesh network based community hosting on Raspberry Pis, and our project to run a local fediverse social network. We aspire to keep this meetup **Solarpunk** as fuck. We support the hackers, tinkerers and makers and misfits. There are plenty of other spaces for big corporate green tech, so bring your hobby project, not your day job, unless that job is firmly rooted in the solidarity economy. We are not value neutral. We'll start with Merri-bek Tech's [values](https://www.merri-bek.tech/about/values/) and [principles](https://www.merri-bek.tech/about/principles/), and build from there together. In particular, in the context of ongoing genocide, we will ask you to leave if you're associated in any way with the weapons industry. This meetup will be hosted on the stolen, unceeded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. **Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.** Image alt text (honestly meetup, get your shit together): The image is a illustration of a future, sustainable city. There is human-scale, green tech, repair shops and urban gardens.

2041 Space Odyssey: The Future of Human Space Flight with Dr Sara Webb

Fri, Jul 17, 7:45 AM

From Melbourne Social

4.9

Let's spend a Friday evening imagining humanity's future among the stars, with astrophysicist Dr Sara Webb. Dr Webb is an Australian astrophysicist, science communicator and author. Her talk takes us from today's rapidly evolving space industry into the next era of human exploration beyond Earth. Drawing on real microgravity research — including her own — she'll explore how we might live, grow food, and sustain human life on the Moon, Mars, and deeper into the solar system. Expect a mix of futurism and cutting-edge science: space agriculture, the search for new forms of life and planetary resources, and the technologies that could one day make us an interplanetary species. This talk is part of the University of Melbourne's 2026 July Lectures in Physics — a free public lecture series that has brought world-leading physicists to Melbourne every Friday in July since 1968. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure meetup for anyone curious about space, science, or the future of humanity off-world. You're very welcome to come solo. We'll meet outside first, say hello, then head in together. After the lecture there's a reception in the foyer of the Sidney Myer Asia Centre — free refreshments and a chance to chat about what we just heard. It's in the same building as the theatre, so we'll just step out into the foyer and hang out as a group before wrapping up around 8:00pm. **Who this is for** This event may suit you if you enjoy: * Astronomy, space exploration, and the future of spaceflight * Mars, the Moon, and life beyond Earth * Space agriculture, microgravity, and how we'll survive off-world * Futurism and big "what comes next" questions * A relaxed, solo-friendly social meetup No science background needed — just curiosity. **Links** * Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dq1ipx5mVQNawPtb9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dq1ipx5mVQNawPtb9) * Free tickets / event page: [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2041-space-odyssey-the-future-of-human-space-flight-tickets-1989801064548](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2041-space-odyssey-the-future-of-human-space-flight-tickets-1989801064548) **Timeline** * 5:45pm — Meet outside the Carrillo Gantner Theatre entrance and say hi * 6:00pm — Lecture starts * 7:00pm — Lecture ends * 7:00pm – 8:00pm — Reception in the foyer (refreshments + a chat) * 8:00pm — Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** * This event is free, but you still need to book your own free ticket through Eventbrite. * A Meetup RSVP does not include entry to the lecture. Please book a separate free ticket. * Free tickets for these lectures are popular and can run out, so it's worth booking early if you're sure you want to come. **Bring** * Your ticket / booking confirmation * Warm clothes — it's a July evening * Curiosity about space and the future of human spaceflight **What to expect** * Vibe: relaxed, low-pressure, solo-friendly * Group style: we meet before the lecture, watch the talk together, then stay for the reception * Session style: an engaging, accessible public lecture — no science background required **Important notes** * Please book your own free ticket on Eventbrite — a Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in. * Doors open at 5:40pm and the lecture starts at 6:00pm, so please arrive by 5:45pm so we can head in together. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
