IoT-enabled smoker for great BBQ

Maintaining a good temperature is important if you want to make really good BBQ. In this dev chat, take a look at how to create an IoT-enabled BBQ smoker using Raspberry Pi and AWS IoT Greengrass. Dive deep into the AWS services you need to create a serverless, event-driven system, using services like AWS IoT Core, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EventBridge that can be used to monitor and notify you when a temperature falls outside of a specified range.

Building a serverless AI powered translation service

We'll craft a serverless, event-driven service, that not only translates your text with accuracy but also breathes life into it with voice generation. Leveraging the power of AWS's cloud, we'll use services like AWS StepFunctions, EventBridge, and Lambda with the advanced AI capabilities of AWS Translate and Polly. This session is not just a talk; it's a live, interactive experience where we'll build the solution right before your eyes.

Mastering AWS: A journey to an AWS cloud architect

# Mastering AWS: A journey to a AWS cloud architect

## Description

In the evolving landscape of technology, cloud computing has become a strong force driving innovation, scalability, and efficiency. This talk presents my journey from a developer in an embedded world to the world of AWS as an cloud architect and developer. What training resources to use and my experience learning AWS. We'll also look at a few of my first solutions and how they evolved. As a last part we'll look at how the AWS Community has impacted my journey. This is based on my story, my journey, my experience!

## Takeaways

An understanding of the fundamental shifts in mindset and skill set required for successful cloud development.
A roadmap of learning resources, including certifications, online courses, and community platforms, tailored for both beginners and intermediate developers.
Practical advice on overcoming challenges, within cloud projects.
Inspiration from my story of transitioning to cloud computing, continuous learning, and the impact of embracing cloud technologies.

## Audience

This talk is designed for developers, IT professionals, and enthusiasts at any stage of their career who are curious about or are in the process of transitioning to cloud computing. Whether you are taking your first steps into the cloud or looking to deepen your expertise, this session will provide valuable insights and guidance on your journey to cloud mastery.

Building resilient serverless workloads: Navigating through failures

Serverless and event-driven workloads on AWS are well known for their inherent high availability and scalability, offering a robust platform right out of the box. However, in the world of cloud, it's well known that everything fails all the time. This reality becomes even more complex when serverless systems interact with non-serverless components, which may not possess the same agility in scaling.

In this talk, we will dig into architectural patterns that can help you handle failures effectively. Additionally, I'll be sharing my personal insights and gotchas from working with serverless workloads for almost ten years.

Serverless website analytics with Lambda@Edge

In this talk we will dive into the innovative approach of utilizing AWS Lambda@Edge to gather statistics for a static website, focusing on server-side data collection for page views, user locations, and devices without client-side scripts.
This solution leverages AWS services like S3, CloudFront, StepFunctions, Glue, Athena, and Managed Grafana to process and analyze data efficiently, offering scalability, cost-effectiveness, and minimal impact on website performance. We'll delve into the architectural setup, data flow, and performance improvements.

/Automate DevOps, boost productivity & developer experience

In today’s fast-paced development environments, reducing manual tasks is crucial for productivity. This talk will explore how MyMoney, fintech market leader in Sweden, leveraged Slack integrated with AWS, creating an event-driven solution, to automate tasks across a multi-account setup. Learn how this journey enhanced productivity and security by eliminating repetitive tasks, minimizing human error. A key aspect was integrating alarms and notifications directly into Slack, enabling developers to take immediate action on system alerts. We will look at the problems, implementation, and challenges faced. Join us to gain valuable insights and practical tips for transforming your workflows.

Audience will learn how we integrated our DevOps way of working and tooling with Slack to automate tasks, boosting productivity, creating better developer experience and at the same time reducing cost.

Key Takeaways:
- How to automate task to increase developer experience
- How to create an event-driven solution across multiple AWS accounts
- Using automated scheduling to save cost
