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. **Important venue information** This meetup will take place at **Epignosis HQ**. Please check the map and venue instructions carefully before arriving. The venue’s security team will be checking IDs at the entrance. For this reason: * You must provide your **full name** when RSVPing. * You must bring a **valid ID** for entry. * RSVP will close **2 days before the event** so that the attendee list can be shared with the venue. Please make sure the name on your RSVP matches your ID. *** **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.

🇬🇷 **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!** 📍 Zone01, Athens 🗓️ Thursday, 4 June 2026 🕡 6:30 PM \| 3 Hours **A Few Notes:** ✅ This is an in-person event ✅ RSVP does not guarantee a seat — A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.

Unshackled will be one of the largest The Prisoners wines tasting in the nation this Thursday, hosted by Stuart, in my absence. The Prisoner Wines have several dozen white and red blended wines using unusual combinations that are very different than traditional blends from Bordeaux or The Rhone regions. ***The Prisoner Red Blend*** is comprised of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Sirah, Syrah, Merlot, and Malbec. ***Saldo***, in the $30 range, has Petite Sirah, Grenache, Syrah, Mataro, Verdelho, and Cabernet Sauvignon. ***The Prisoner Chardonnay*** has, Chardonnay, Viognier and Gewürztraminer. You get the idea: no traditional limits in blending grapes. I will get a table for people to gather. It will be crowded, so be patient with this very popular.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving."

In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackay’s Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime. *The Beast / La Bête* can be streamed for free on Kanopy or the Criterion Channel. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime, AppleTV and YouTube.

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
