Sky's the Limit: Lessons and Learnings in Scaling Serverless at Sky Italia

In this presentation, we explore the critical question, "Is Serverless the new way to go, at any cost and every scale?" Reflecting on Sky Italia's shift to a serverless-first approach for our million-DAU digital properties, we aim to provide a comprehensive and candid look into this decision. We'll share insights into the tangible benefits we've achieved, the challenges and limitations we've faced, and the practical pitfalls and missteps encountered along the way. This talk is designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike, seeking an honest and detailed exploration of the serverless paradigm in high-traffic environments. Join us for an engaging session that goes beyond the hype, offering real-world lessons and strategies from Sky Italia's journey in the serverless landscape.

AWS Summit Milan 2025

Hai mai iniziato a programmare non da una specifica, ma da una sensazione?

In questo talk, esploreremo il "vibe-coding" - un approccio creativo alla prototipazione rapida guidato dall'intuizione che unisce competenze tecniche con istinto e immaginazione. Condividerò come questa mentalità mi ha aiutato a costruire rapidamente Think-O-Matic, uno strumento di facilitazione per workshop potenziato dall'AI costruito su Amazon Bedrock, progettato per ripensare il modo in cui i team di ingegneria collaborano. Esamineremo i vantaggi del vibe-coding - come slancio, creatività e scoperte fortuite - così come le sfide, quali obiettivi vaghi e deriva dall’idea iniziale. Guadagnerete una nuova prospettiva su come trasformare la vostra scintilla in qualcosa di reale, velocemente.
