***Simplifying Serverless Integration Testing: WireMock on AWS Lambda***
Elena van Engelen-Maslova
45min
"In serverless architectures, integration testing becomes a key focus in the testing pyramid, as local environments cannot fully replicate the complexities of cloud deployments. External APIs, often unavailable or difficult to configure, pose a significant challenge during testing.

Mocking external APIs locally with tools like WireMock is common, but to truly validate serverless applications, testing must occur in the deployed environment. This talk explores how to leverage WireMock on AWS Lambda to mock external APIs directly in the cloud.

Attendees will learn how to set up and configure WireMock on AWS Lambda, integrate it into their workflows, and ensure reliable, deployment-level testing. This approach simplifies testing, reduces dependency on external systems, and enhances confidence in serverless application behavior in real-world scenarios."

***Production-ready Lambda functions with Lambda PowerTools***
Jeroen Reijn
45 min
"AWS Lambda is a great service that allows you to focus on delivering business value without worrying too much about the underlying infrastructure. It integrates well with all kinds of other AWS services, and Lambda functions can be written in many different languages.

To make your functions production-ready and to achieve operational excellence you'll need to apply the three pillars of observability: logs, metrics, and traces. The Powertools for AWS Lambda toolkit can help you with that, but there is so much more it can do to boost your productivity.

In this talk, we will explore the capabilities of Lambda Powertools and demonstrate how it can improve your lambda functions by looking at code examples, and a live demo of a production application."

***Database migration: through thorns to RDS***
Kirill Solovei
45 min
"This presentation will walk you through hands-on experience of migration from on-premise PostgreSQL database to RDS using Database Migration Service and Schema Conversion tool. What could possibly go wrong, did. What seemed easy at first, wasn't."
