👋 Hello AWS User Group Community! Join us on Wednesday, 29th April 2026, for our April meetup at the AWS Singapore Office, IOI Central Boulevard! Our speakers will share their experiences and insights from modernizing existing applications, designing enterprise agent architectures, and taking generative AI ideas from prototype to production. If you're experimenting with AI agents, exploring generative AI architectures, or simply curious about how others are bringing these ideas into real-world systems, this meetup is for you :) 📢 **IMPORTANT! Registration Information** To ensure a smooth check-in process, please take note of the following: ✅ ✅ Confirmed attendees will receive a confirmation email before the event titled *"**AWS User Group Singapore: Registration Confirmed for AWS User Group Meetup – April 2026**."* You must present this email at the Level 1 Concierge to gain access to Level 5 for attendance verification. 🚶 Walk-ins (those without a confirmation email) will only be considered if the venue has not reached full capacity. Priority will be given to registered attendees with confirmation emails. 🔒 Strictly enforced: No confirmation email = walk-in. Entry not guaranteed. 📅 **Date:** Wednesday, 29th April 2026 🕡 **Time:** 6:30 PM 📍 **Location:** AWS Singapore; 2 Central Blvd, IOI Central Boulevard East Towers, Level 5 🎤 **Meetup Track** **✅ Evaluating GenAI Applications in Production with AWS Bedrock Evaluations** **📌 Speaker: Vishesh Kumar, Principal Architect, AWS** Without evaluation, all GenAI is "taking shots in the dark." Learn the six criteria for effective GenAI evaluation frameworks and how Amazon Bedrock Evaluations bridges the PoC-to-production gap with built in and custom metrics. **✅ Solving Real-Life Problem using Agentic AI and AWS cloud** **📌 Speaker: Senthil Baskaran, Emerging Technology Architect** Parents in Singapore receive dozens of school event PDFs via ParentsGateway each term and manually re-entering every date, time, and location into their calendars is tedious and error-prone. One PDF upload, two taps, and every event is in your calendar — that was the goal. School Event Processor — an AI-powered web app that extracts calendar events from school PDF letters and adds them directly to Google Calendar. Built with Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet 4.5), OpenAI GPT-4o as fallback, NextAuth v5 (Google OAuth), pdfjs-dist for client-side PDF rendering, and AWS Amplify for hosting, the app was designed to solve a common, everyday pain point for parents. **✅From Idea to Interactive Map: Building AWS Community Globe** **📌 Speaker: Jagateesvaran Rajoo\, Software Engineer \| AWS Cloud Club Core Team at SIT** In this session, Jaga will share the story behind AWS Community Globe, an interactive project designed to make it easier to discover AWS Community Heroes, Community Builders, User Groups, and Cloud Clubs around the world. He will walk through the idea behind the project, how he designed and built the experience, the tools and technologies used, and some of the lessons learned while turning a simple idea into a working community discovery platform. 💡 **Pro Tip:** Arrive early to avoid queues and secure your seat for the sharing sessions! Additional Highlights: 🍕 Pizza Time: Begin your evening with some delicious pizza at 6:30 PM, courtesy of our generous sponsor, AWS. Vegetarian and halal options will be available. 🍻 Post-Meetup Networking: Stick around for casual networking over drinks.

In reality, it is just as much about how we think. In this talk, \*\*[Fion ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fion-sim-8427741b0/)\*\*shares her journey of learning to design for scalability through real-world experience — navigating evolving requirements, growing systems, and the trade-offs that come with them. Rather than focusing on deep technical patterns, the session explores the decision-making process behind building systems that can grow sustainably. Through practical examples, she will reflect on: * How to recognise when scalability becomes a concern * Balancing simplicity vs. future-proofing * Breaking down systems into manageable, evolvable components * Learning from constraints, failures, and iteration This session is designed for developers who are early to mid in their journey, or anyone looking to strengthen their intuition around building systems that don’t just work today — but continue to work as they scale. **About the Speaker - [Fion Sim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fion-sim-8427741b0/):** Fion is a fullstack web developer focused on building robust, scalable applications across the modern web stack. She has hands-on experience with frontend frameworks such as Next.js and Angular, and develops backend microservices using Node.js and Prisma.

***Guests are not allowed; only members are permitted***. All must register on this page. **Only members on the RSVP list are permitted**. **Why is no guest allowed?** **ALL MUST READ & AGREE TO OUR DISCLAIMERS BELOW.** **Reason: Bad experience from past events: Guests often don't read our disclaimer & follow our rules, as they are not required to RSVP,** which is typically done by friends who are members of our group. => **Guest**, *please sign up as our member - it is free anyway.* Organiser: "*It has been a very long time since we hiked this before COVID times. Pipeline sections are now all fenced up, and we are no longer able to walk on them physically. Let's go check them out*". We don't know how much the trails have changed, any new obstacles or challenges, any section blocked, etc. **Do be prepared for some exhilarating scrambling, wrong way, U-turn or change of route. In a few sections, you will be under the sun. But don't expect to hold an umbrella and walk. The pipeline trail is not a walk**. If you're not sure you're up for such uncertain challenges, don't RSVP. Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ● **What's the plan**? The "Marsiling Pipeline Trek" is a hiking trail that follows the route of a buried water pipeline from Marsiling to the Bukit Panjang area, offering moderate difficulty with steep grassy slopes and varied landscapes, including open grasslands and forested patches. We will cover at least 10-13 km of different trails of varied terrains. Some difficult sections where hands are needed besides your legs. **Part 1: Scenic walk through Chestnut Park.** **Part 2: is the pipeline trail, a 7 KM trail** full of unpaved paths, mini hills, and of course, the titular pipes themselves. Gloves will be needed. 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 & 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗺. 𝗔 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 hiking 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹. End Point : Marsiling **Who is Suitable**? NOT for beginners. For regular walkers/hikers who are not afraid of the sun/rain. Pipeline trek is not a walk; it involves some difficult sections as it's not a straightforward trail. Be prepared for the long distance of walking. There will not be any sweepers, so you are to keep pace with the group or find your way out. 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀! Hiking attire & Gloves. At least 1.5 litres of water, sunblock, rain gear, sun protection accessories, snack/energy bars - lunch may be late. **Shoe**: Wear comfortable hiking shoes [a few sections of pipeline]. Basic first-aid for cuts. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀?

Register at [bit.ly/gdgsg-apr26](https://bit.ly/gdgsg-apr26) \-\-\- Step into the next frontier of automation at our April meetup, where we shift the focus from static prompts to dynamic, goal-oriented AI Agents. As the ecosystem moves toward more autonomous and integrated systems, understanding how to effectively connect, manage, and orchestrate these models is becoming a vital skill for every developer. This month, we’re exploring the critical frameworks that allow agents to securely access external data and the architectural strategies behind building collaborative multi-agent environments. Whether you're looking to enhance your current workflows or architect complex new systems, join us for an evening of technical insights, peer networking, and community building. Let’s explore how the latest tools in the Google ecosystem are making intelligent, multi-functional agents more accessible than ever. Secure your spot now and join the conversation! #BuildwithAI #GoogleForDevelopers #GDGSingapore \-\-\- By attending this event, you acknowledge that you have [read and agreed to follow these security guidelines](https://bit.ly/devspace-security). We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our office and community space safe and welcoming for everyone. Let’s focus on building the future — safely and responsibly!

Our third meetup will be to the indie venue of Kultyard, located near Outram Park. They've got a live music jam on Saturdays that's got a great vibe and their tacos are really good. We'll each pay for our own food and/or drink (let's support the venue by purchasing something), and get to enjoy what's likely to be some experimental and lively music that evening. It is pretty free and easy so if you might need to arrive late or leave early that's fine too. To join just RSVP and I'll help make the table reservation for the group. So the venue doesn't hold seats it doesn't need to, do let me know one day before if you're not able to make it anymore. I'm keeping the max group size a little smaller at 10 (including me) so it's easier to get tables and make conversation too (especially for an introvert like me!). *Bear with me as we figure out over time what days and times work well for folks, feel free to comment below too so I know.
