Building a content creation bot on AWS Serverless and the learnings along the way
Over the last few months, I've been building a platform with AWS Serverless technologies that helps me with the creation of blogs, YouTube videos and social media posts. In this session, I'll walk you through what I was trying to solve when I built the platform and what/how AWS Serverless technologies have helped me achieve the desired outcome. We'll also take a look at some of the more painful aspects of serverless development such as retry logic, handling asynchronous payloads, wait loops and how to handle batch process with ten's of thousands of transactions.
By the end of the session, you should all come way with some re-usable patterns to help make your own serverless development journey a little faster and easier
When Software Meets Robotics: Building a Self-Driving R2D2!
What's the Talk About?
Think of it as a behind-the-scenes tour of a robotics workshop! This presentation is not just about the nuts and bolts; it’s about the laughs, the ‘aha’ moments, and the occasional ‘oops’ that happen when cloud-based development shakes hands with robotics. I’ll share:
* Fun anecdotes from the world of robotics and software integration.
* Easy-to-digest tips and tricks for developers looking to dive into robotics.
* The secret sauce to making interdisciplinary projects less intimidating, more exhilarating and a LOT less painful.
* How anybody can get started by leveraging cloud-based services such as RoboMaker and SageMaker.
Star of the Show:
Meet my life-size, self-driving R2D2 robot – the true hero of this story! This little buddy isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a living example (well, almost living) of what happens when you let your software skills loose in the robotics world. Expect stories, demonstrations, and maybe even a high-five from R2D2!
