For product builders, infrastructure is often a blocker, not an enabler. You want the reliability of AWS, but you don't want to be a full-time Cloud Architect on Day 1.

This talk introduces Amazon ECS Express Mode, a workflow designed to bridge the gap between "it works on my machine" and "it’s live on AWS." We’ll walk through the automated setup of secure, scalable environments and discuss the trade-offs of this "convention over configuration" approach. Learn how to maintain high velocity in the early stages without painting yourself into a technical corner.

What the Audience Will Learn ?
- Understand what ECS Express Mode actually abstracts
- Decide when to use ECS Express Mode vs standard ECS
- Deploy a production HTTPS container service quickly
- Customise safely without breaking the abstraction
