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.

/Automate. Serverless and event-driven approach to DevOps

In today’s fast-paced development environments, reducing manual tasks is crucial for productivity and developer experience.

This talk will explore how a fintech market leader in Sweden, created a serverless and event-driven integration with Slack on AWS. Creating a solution, to automate tasks across a multi-account setup. Learn how this journey optimized cost, enhanced productivity and security by eliminating repetitive tasks, by 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, deep dive into implementation, and the challenges we 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 serverless and event-driven solution across multiple AWS accounts
- Using automated scheduling to save cost

Crafting a Serverless, AI-Powered Translation Service

Imagine a translation service that not only converts text but also brings it to life with natural-sounding voice. In this live, interactive session, we’ll build a serverless, event-driven translation solution powered by AWS, using services like AWS Step Functions, EventBridge, Lambda, Translate, and Polly.

We’ll dive deep into how these AWS tools work together to create an efficient and scalable system. Along the way, you’ll see firsthand how serverless architecture allows for seamless integration and rapid development, all while harnessing the power of AI for both text translation and voice synthesis.

Join me for a hands-on experience where we’ll transform complex requirements into a fully functioning solution, all in real-time.

Event-Driven and serverless in world of IoT

In large-scale IoT systems, where thousands of devices are constantly communicating, data and control messages can flow unpredictably and at varying rates throughout the day. Serverless and event-driven architectures provide a dynamic and efficient solution to this challenge.

In this session, we’ll explore why serverless is a great fit for IoT, particularly in handling data ingestion and management. We’ll dive into the key architectural patterns used in IoT systems, highlighting how event-driven design enables scalability, flexibility, and cost optimization.

I’ll also walk you through an architecture I designed for an IoT use case, showcasing the integration of various AWS services tailored for data ingestion, processing, and analytics. Along the way, we’ll discuss the challenges encountered and lessons learned during development, offering actionable insights into the unique aspects of building serverless IoT solutions.

Join me to understand how serverless and event-driven architectures can unlock the full potential of IoT, enabling resilient and scalable systems that are easy to manage and adapt to evolving demands.

BBQ Meets IoT, a smart offset smoker with AWS

Achieving the perfect BBQ requires more than just a good recipe, it's all about mastering temperature control and timing. In this session, I'll take you through the journey of connecting my BBQ smoker to the cloud, turning it into an IoT-powered cooking machine with AWS.

We'll explore how I built a serverless, event-driven system that help me keep my smoker at the ideal temperature and monitoring multiple cooking zones simultaneously. I'll dive into key AWS services like IoT Core, Lambda, and EventBridge, showing how they work together to collect data, send real-time notifications throughout long cooking sessions.

Whether you're passionate about BBQ or IoT, this session will give you hands-on insights into building smart systems with AWS that enhance any process requiring precision and monitoring.

**Target Audience:** Developers, IoT enthusiasts, cloud engineers, and anyone interested in practical IoT applications. Basic familiarity with AWS services and IoT concepts is helpful.

**Session Level:** 300 (Advanced) - This session provides practical insights into building IoT solutions with real-world examples. Attendees should have basic understanding of cloud services and development concepts. AWS IoT and serverless concepts will be explained as we dive into the implementation.

AI-Driven Serverless website analytics with Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore

Stop reading dashboards and start talking to your website analytics!

In this talk, you’ll see how Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore can be used to build AI-driven website analytics on a serverless foundation.

Instead of clicking through dashboards or writing queries, you interact with your website analytics using natural language. Agents answer questions about traffic and usage, summarize trends, and help you understand what’s happening on your website through a conversational interface. You’ll see this in action through a live demo.

The talk dives into how AI agents are designed and integrated with a serverless system on AWS. You’ll explore agent workflows, how data is made available to AI systems, and how agents become a practical interface for understanding website behavior.

This is a technical, demo-heavy session with code walkthroughs and real examples. You’ll walk away with concrete ideas for combining serverless and AI services on AWS to build more interactive and intuitive solutions.
