Why & how your Apps can benefit from Event-driven Serverless Architectures

After Mike Apted (Sr. Manager at AWS Startup Team) presents the theory on why & how your applications can benefit from Event-driven Serverless Architectures, Krish Perumal (CTO at Cedience) will share his real-world journey, challenges, and lessons learned when building modular Data Pipelines with AWS Serverless tools at Cedience – his Biotechnology startup that's using AI to address knowledge gaps in drug development.

This is effectively Part #2 of the "Celebrate 5 Years" meetup because last month, we ran out of time for the 4th presentation.

Please bring along plenty of enthusiasm and questions – we're looking forward to it being a fun-filled night :)
