Cloud for Grownups: No Kubernetes, No Complexity, Just AWS-Powered Results

Join AWS Gold Jacket recipient Victor Szoltysek for a high-impact session on real-world DevOps that’s fast, simple, and affordable. Learn how to build and deploy production-grade apps on AWS—without Kubernetes, bloated Terraform scripts, or sky-high costs. This talk is AWS-first but cloud-agnostic in mindset. If you’re ready to ship faster and spend less, don’t miss it.

You’ll learn:

• Why Microservices and Kubernetes might be slowing your team down (and what to use instead)
• How to host real-world apps on AWS for $20/month or less
• How to simplify infrastructure with minimal Terraform and still look like a hero

Expect hot takes, real-world war stories, and a few spicy memes.
(Bring your inner DevOps cynic—we’re going to convert them.)
