Westwing Tech Warsaw #2.

Planned talks:

Flexible workers in AWS

In the session, we will present how to use AWS features to set up worker environments that can process asynchronous tasks in the cloud. We will demonstrate an example worker architecture that uses queueing services and auto scaling features of the Amazon cloud. You will see how to easily offload some heavy tasks from a web server to separate worker instances. We will show you how to configure virtual machines that can scale up or down, basing on the amount of work that needs to be done or basing on time criteria that fit your business flow. As the result, you will be able to distribute the load across multiple compute instances and provide your end users with a better web browsing experience.

When GitLab CI meets AWS infrastructure (with Docker)

This time, we would like to show you how our Continuous Integration setup looks like with GitLab as our code repository manager and software used to run Continuous Integration pipeline. As most of our services are already in the AWS (or will be there soon), we wanted to prepare a setup that is robust, easy-to-use and cost-effective for our use cases. And you know what? We did it. And now we will show you how we did this, why we’re paying only when we work and how the heck we managed to not store any single password or access key in the whole setup.

The meetup will take place in Westwing’s office in the center of Warsaw near the Rondo ONZ metro station. Due to the size of our conference room, we ask you to sign up if you want to join us. And to do it fast as the number of places is limited :)

After entering the office we will need to check if you signed up for the meetup = RSVP for the meetup is required.

No AWS knowledge required to join! You will learn everything during the sessions :) Note that all talks will be presented in Polish.
