AGENDA
--- TALK 1 ---
CDK and SERVERLESS - more straightforward than you think
Instead of using CloudFormation for the following AWS project, one could consider using CDK. It will allow writing clean and maintainable code instead of counting tabs in a 2000-line YAML file. Why is it convenient to start with provisioning cloud infrastructure for the serverless use case?
--- TALK 2 ---
What's new with AWS Step Functions?
In this talk, we will dive deep on Step Functions and discuss some of the more exciting, recent releases that came out in the last few weeks. Step Functions is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful and flexible building blocks on the AWS platform and we are very excited to share a few learnings on how to best use the service and what pitfalls to avoid. We will include several quick demo's and practical examples of how we use Step Functions at our company.
