About us
Welcome to the Northern Colorado AWS Meetup. We meet once a month at Wolverine Farm Publick House in north Fort Collins.
This is a group for anyone interested in learning more about the powerful features and services available with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This will be a great chance to meet up with other users, architects, etc. to learn (and teach!). Whether you're passionate about cloud computing or just curious, this is the place to scratch that itch.
We sometimes chat in the Northern Colorado Tech Meetups Slack group.
Whether you're new to AWS or a long time user, you're welcome to come out, learn some new things and socialize with other AWS enthusiasts and professionals.

AWS FAST: The Full-Stack Solution Template for AgentCore AI
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is AWS's platform for deploying and operating AI agents at scale — handling runtime, security, tool integration, and memory so you don't have to manage the infrastructure yourself. But going from "agent running in AgentCore" to "secure, full-stack application a user can actually interact with" still involves wiring up a frontend, authentication, API gateway, and CDK infrastructure. That's where FAST comes in.
The Fullstack AgentCore Solution Template (FAST) is an open-source starter project that bundles all of that together. With two deployment commands and you will have a working React app connected to an AgentCore backend with Cognito auth, a tool gateway, and a code interpreter — ready to customize.
In this session, we'll:
- Break down the AgentCore components FAST uses: Runtime, Gateway, and Code Interpreter
- Walk through the architecture, including how Cognito secures four distinct integration points
- Deploy the baseline app and explore what you get out of the box
- Show how to use the project's built-in documentation with an AI coding assistant to customize the template for your own use case — no frontend or infrastructure expertise required
This talk is for cloud architects, data scientists, and engineers looking to accelerate their GenAI projects on AWS.
