Leverage the power of Modern Application Development
Watch AWS Dev Day Online on-demand and deepen your modern app development knowledge with this free, virtual event.
Today’s applications need to scale quickly, ensure availability, handle terabytes of data, and respond in milliseconds. We call these applications “modern” and they cover an expanding range of use-cases, including web and mobile apps, backend services, data processing, and machine learning. This online event will address how to build and operate modern applications at scale across your organization, enabling it to become more agile and respond to change faster.
Hear the very latest at the opening keynote and dive deep into any of the 12 sessions across our three tracks covering a broad range of topics including containers, serverless, event driven applications, infrastructure as code, application security and more. AWS technical experts will explain key features and use cases, share best practices, walk through technical demos, and be available to answer your questions one-on-one via live Q&A.

Introduction to Modern Application Development on AWS (Level 200)
Modern System and Application Development, using Microservices, Containers and Serverless, allows you to build and run simpler and more efficient applications and innovate with agility and speed.
The ability to deploy your applications faster, using CI/CD, run it without the need for provisioning or managing servers and design your teams to support it, opens new opportunities to build better services, designed for the cloud era.In this session, we will look into the move to Microservices, adopt new operations models with Containers and Serverless and introduce the concepts a product delivery pipelines to improve your products.
Speaker: Boaz Ziniman, Principal Developer Advocate, AWS

Architecting and Running Microservices on AWS (Level 300)
Microservices allow teams to innovate rapidly and ship software faster than ever before. AWS offers a number of different ways to build and run microservices, from IaaS to containers to serverless functions - but which one is best for your use case? This session will dive into the benefits and pitfalls of each, best practices for building new microservices, and the AWS services that allow you to build and run high performing microservices applications.
Speaker: Kris Howard, Developer Advocate Manager, AWS
Getting started with CI/CD for serverless appplications (Level 300)
To get the most out of the agility afforded by serverless, it is essential to build CI/CD pipelines that help teams iterate on code and quickly release features. Serverless and distributed systems in production cannot be done any other way than with a good and efficient CI/CD pipeline.
Speaker: Marcia Villalba, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
Implementing Cloud Security Automation at scale (Level 300)
In this session we will look at how you can leverage the tools and services available from AWS to implement security automation at scale. The cloud gives you more visibility and auditability than ever before, in addition to tools that allow you to build low cost, scalable automation to detect security threats both proactively and reactively. We will show hands on demonstrations that walk you through the steps required to achieve this.
Speaker: Steven Bryen, Principal Developer Advocate, AWS
Container Cluster Optimisation: blending Amazon EC2 with AWS Fargate (Level 400)
Running workloads at scale while staying within a budget is sometimes a complex task. You want the price benefit of Spot instances, but the stability of On-Demand scheduling. Now you can blend both of these types, for both Amazon EC2 instances as well as AWS Fargate. We will cover setting up both of these in this practical, hands-on session on how to blend Spot and On-Demand for your workloads and how to plan to meet your SLAs.

Architecting and Running Microservices on AWS (Level 300)
Microservices allow teams to innovate rapidly and ship software faster than ever before. AWS offers a number of different ways to build and run microservices, from IaaS to containers to serverless functions - but which one is best for your use case? This session will dive into the benefits and pitfalls of each, best practices for building new microservices, and the AWS services that allow you to build and run high performing microservices applications.
Speaker: Kris Howard, Developer Advocate Manager, AWS
How to build decoupled services based on events-driven architectures and serverless orchestration (Level 400)
Event-driven architectures can help you decouple services and simplify dependencies management when your applications grow. In this session, we’ll explore the typical problems in synchronous architectures and how events and serverless orchestration provide a new way to communicate between microservices, with practical examples and code - powered by Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions.
Speaker: Alex Casalboni, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
Performance tuning and cost optimization for serverless web applications (Level 300)
What's the correlation between cost and performance in serverless architectures? And how can we design systems that are cost-effective, highly scalable, and performant at the same time? This session will dive into the best practices for tuning memory, runtime, initialization, concurrency, and more, in a data-driven way, to squeeze every drop of performance out of Lambda functions, as well as a mental framework to think in terms of cost/performance patterns.
Speaker: Alex Casalboni, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
The Principle of Least Privilege: Deep Dive into Role-Based Access Control with AWS (Level 300)
The Principle of Least Privilege is the idea that any user, program, or process should have only the minimum privileges necessary to perform its function. However, as an Architect you have to make sure that security doesn’t become a road-block to productivity. In this presentation - along with a hands-on demo - you will learn how you can set up your AWS environment in a way that users will only have the necessary permissions at any time without restricting their ability to experiment and innovate.
Speaker: Steven Bryen, Principal Developer Advocate, AWS

Deep dive on AWS developer tools (Level 300)
This session will dive into the tools and services that enable developers to build applications on top of AWS. These tools help you build software like Amazon and facilitate best practices such as CI/CD and IaC. We'll start from where every developer starts - that is the text editor. The usage of AWS IDEs and Toolkits for IDEs can greatly benefit every developer. One part of software development is observability and iteration, for that we will look into Tracing with AWS X-Ray and AWS CodeGuru for some code reviews and improvements.
Speaker: Darko Meszaros, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
Advanced Infrastructure as Code (IaC) powered by AWS CDK (Level 400)
Infrastructure as Code is a very important component of modern applications. AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) allows developers to design infrastructure with ease. But what about beyond that initial CDK Stack? What about some more advanced concepts such as deploying resources across multiple accounts and regions? What about deploying resources using CDK Pipelines and some proper Infrastructure Testing? In this session we will go over some more advanced concepts of IaC and AWS CDK and see how they fit into the overall picture.
Speaker: Darko Meszaros, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
Offline-first web and mobile apps powered by GraphQL (Level 300)
AWS Amplify allows front end developers to integrate cloud-based API, Storage, Prediction Engines and more, easily with just a few lines of code. After a brief integration to AWS Amplify for new comers, this talk will dive into local data storage. More and more web and mobile developers are using local storage to ensure good response times and that applications continue to run without a network connection. But how do you synchronize local storage with backend? How do you resolve conflicts? We will present an open source framework (AWS Amplify DataStore) that allows you to develop modern web and mobile applications that answer these questions with minimum code.
Speaker: Sohan Maheshwar, Developer Advocate, AWS
Use Identity Federation (Login with Google, Signin With Apple) in your web and mobile apps (Level 300)
In this talk, you will learn how to include Federated SignIn in your web and mobile application. We will first use AWS Amplify and Amazon Cognito to implement cloud-based authentication in your web and mobile application. In the second part we will dive deeper into native federation capabilities (like "Sign In With Apple") and show how to reconciliate native user authentication in mobile app with cloud-based authentication.
Speaker: Sebastien Stormacq, Principal Developer Advocate, AWS
