Welcome to the Melbourne Serverless Meetup Group event for May 2023!

📅 Agenda 📅

5:30 PM - Doors Open!
6:00 PM - Welcome from the organizers / housekeeping
6:05 PM - "Proactive Ops" by Dave Hall

Traditional IT operations is overwhelmingly reactive - humans respond to incidents and tickets. There is so much noise! Alerts, tickets, audits, chat threads. What if ops could catch the small things before they turn into big problems? What if we could use events and serverless to remediate issues?

During this session we will explore what “proactive ops” platform can look like. Areas covered in this session will include capturing events from SaaS products, event routing, building reusable composable components, and the different approaches to deal with policy violations. By then end of session an attendee should be able to start building their own serverless, event driven, proactive ops platform.

6:35 PM - Pizza
7:00 PM - AWS Step Functions Express Workflows – A Deep Dive - By Robbie Cooray (AWS)

Description:

AWS Step Functions Express workflows are a really powerful tool to have in your arsenal, one that gives you the opportunity to orchestrate at scale. This session is to understand Express Workflows in depth, so that you can apply the right type of workflow to your use case.
This session will also address some common considerations so that you can better architect solutions knowing these. The session will then continue on to inspect synchronous invocation in a real world scenario, look at latency differences, look at cost differences, and finally cover off ops considerations.

7:40 PM - Networking and finish the Pizza!
8:00 PM - Door Close, see you next time!
