➡️ Wing: Paradigm Shift in Cloud Application Development
This session will explore Wing - an innovative programming language that pioneers the simplification of cloud application programming by bridging the gap between infrastructure and application logic.

We will examine how Wing aspires to become the first "cloud-oriented" language, addressing numerous cloud-specific challenges such as difficulties in testing, a lack of local cloud development solutions, vendor lock-in, and the necessity to delve deeply into every cloud platform.
Lastly, the session will demonstrate the ease of writing and deploying an application in Wing to AWS, while also showcasing the exclusive features of Wing.

➡️ Methods of Control and Cost Optimization for Amazon EKS
