Modern SaaS applications are increasingly reliant on serverless technologies. Serverless aligns naturally to the SaaS value proposition, enabling teams to better align their infrastructure costs with the activity of their system’s tenants. This session will look at how and where serverless constructs can be applied within your SaaS architecture, highlighting the natural fit between the needs of multi-tenant environments and operational/agility goals of SaaS organizations. As part of this, we’ll look at the Serverless SaaS reference architecture, an open source implementation using AWS serverless services built by the AWS SaaS Factory that can be used to build your SaaS business, spanning compute, storage, messaging, and other infrastructure components.

AWS and AMD is a great combination in providing powerful yet cost effective solutions in hosting your most important workloads on cloud. In this session, we explore how AMD technologies outperform other offerings in the market, offer better and more portable security solutions for your sensitive data workloads, and understand how AMD achieve energy consumption and sustainability goals that fit your global aspirations. Many customers have already benefited from optimizing their cloud spend by switching to AMD solutions on AWS, by upgrading from older generation on premise servers or cloud instances, to newer AMD instances on AWS, to achieve higher performance at lower cost. This session demonstrates how you could achieve the same to drive greater cost savings for your organization, and generate more agility while doing so.
