Serverless Deep Dive: AWS Lambda Durable Functions & Conversational AI Agents
We are back with a new AWS User Group Athens meetup, and this time we are going deep into serverless, long-running workflows and the new possibilities unlocked by AWS Lambda Durable Functions.
Modern applications often need to coordinate retries, state, delays, callbacks, human-in-the-loop steps, and distributed business logic. Traditionally, that usually meant external orchestration, explicit state machines, or custom persistence logic.
In this meetup, we will explore how AWS Lambda Durable Functions can simplify that model by letting developers express reliable, long-running workflows directly in familiar programming languages.
We will have two technical sessions: first, a deep dive into the core concepts of AWS Lambda Durable Functions and how they compare with AWS Step Functions; then, a practical session on building resilient conversational AI workflows with Amazon Bedrock agents and the Sinch Conversation API.
A big thank you to **Epignosis** for hosting us at their HQ for this meetup.

**Agenda**
**18:00 – 18:30:** Entry & networking
**18:30 – 19:20:** Deep Dive on AWS Lambda Durable Functions
Speaker: [Lefteris Karageorgiou](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lefteriskarageorgiou)
**19:30 – 20:20:** Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions
Speaker: [Gunnar Grosch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnargrosch/)
**20:30 – open end:** Networking, 🍕🍻
***
**Session 1: Deep Dive on AWS Lambda Durable Functions**
AWS Lambda Durable Functions makes it easier to build reliable, fault-tolerant applications using familiar programming languages like JavaScript, Python, and Java.
In this session, we will explore how durable functions simplify retries, state management, and human-in-the-loop workflows for long-running processes, and how they compare with AWS Step Functions for orchestrating distributed applications.
Through a live demo, you will learn how to use features like “steps” and “waits” directly in your IDE to handle failures, track progress, and orchestrate business logic with less complexity.
**About the speaker**
[Lefteris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lefteriskarageorgiou/) is a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS with 20 years of experience in software engineering, specializing in serverless architectures.
He is the author of the book **“Mastering Event-Driven Microservices in AWS”** and runs a weekly newsletter, **“The Cloud Engineers,”** where he shares insightful articles on cloud computing.
Passionate about sharing his knowledge, Lefteris is a public speaker and frequently speaks at technical conferences such as AWS re:Invent, AWS Summits, and Devoxx.
***
**Session 2: Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions**
Building multi-agent AI workflows usually requires complex state machines to handle unpredictable human delays.
Building on the core concepts of AWS Lambda Durable Functions, this session dives into applied agent orchestration. We will coordinate Amazon Bedrock conversational agents using the Sinch Conversation API to handle inbound interactions.
You will learn how to dispatch specialized AI agents, use callbacks to handle asynchronous human input natively, and build resilient, long-running chat architectures entirely in code.
**About the speaker**
[Gunnar Grosch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnargrosch/) is a Developer Advocate at Sinch and an engineer with over 25 years of experience building software, scaling developer communities, and making complex technology accessible.
He started as a community member, became an AWS User Group Leader, was named an AWS Serverless Hero, and spent more than five years as a Developer Advocate at AWS, rising to Principal.
Gunnar sits between the people who build the tools and the people who use them, making both sides better by bringing community feedback back to product teams.
***
Whether you are building serverless applications, distributed workflows, AI agents, event-driven systems, or just want to understand where Lambda Durable Functions fit in the AWS ecosystem, this meetup is for you.
Join us for deep technical content, practical demos, great speakers, and the usual AWS community networking.
BrowserStack QA Meetup- Athens (June 4)
🇬🇷 **Athens, we're getting together — and this one's going to make you think differently.**
The QA community in Athens is coming together on **June 4th** for an evening of bold ideas, sharp conversation, and the kind of networking that actually sticks.
This edition explores two fascinating intersections that don't get talked about enough — what does linguistics have to do with Black Box Testing? And what happens when quality engineering meets SEO? More than you'd think on both counts.
**AGENDA**
**\- Welcome & Introductions**
- **Featured Sessions:**
**Knowing the Next Big Thing: Black Box Testing and Linguistics** *by Apostolos Moutiakas*
When we test a system without knowing its internals, we're essentially decoding behaviour through inputs and outputs — not unlike how we interpret language. This session digs into that connection and what it means for how we approach quality.
**The Engineering Side of SEO: Diagnosing Technical Website Failures** *by Anatoliy Molodechkin*
SEO isn't just a marketing problem — it's an engineering one. This session explores how QA thinking applies to diagnosing and fixing the technical failures that silently hurt your website's performance.
-**🍕F&B, Networking & Fun**
Whether you're a seasoned QA engineer, a curious developer, or someone exploring the craft of software quality — this is an evening worth clearing your calendar for.
Expect great conversation, good company, and networking with Athens' finest QA minds.
**Spots are limited — RSVP now to secure yours!**

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
