Speaker: Dmitri Laptev, Startup Solutions Architect

The cloud is all about elasticity and right-sizing. Microservice architectures are keen to be implemented in containers, and Kubernetes arguably the most common orchestrator to run them. These containers, being (usually) stateless, are good candidates to use the cloud elasticity, so scaling them should be a well-known task. We’ll talk about different scaling approaches and focus on Karpenter - the new groupless cluster autoscaler, that can dramatically improve the efficiency and cost of running workloads on your cluster.

Speaker: Viktor Vedmich, Senior Developer Advocate

Organizations are increasingly focusing on building a modern data strategy to deliver insights to the people and applications that need it, securely and at scale.

In EDA, the events represent a change of state. This change is then processed by other consumers and it mutates as per business logic. The original event is lost. This is an attempt to store and make these events discoverable.

This is the story and lessons learnt session of building a centralized event data store using Data Lake, AWS Lake Formation, Event Bridge and DynamoDB. Polestar is a serverless first company and has used Event Sourcing patterns to build software. As the company grew, the need for 1:1 integrations between different systems grew significantly. Consumers had difficulty to find and establish 1:1 integrations, Data engineers were finding it difficult to source events for analytics as data was scattered.

This project now enables the organization and has features like -

1. Discovery API to search for available data
2. Subscription API to subscribe to events matching a filter criteria
3. Ability to serve Data Science use cases via batch operations
4. Ability to distribute events centrally

This was a culmination of applying the concepts of domain driven design to an internal data product. An initial version of the concept can be found here (https://github.com/mikaelvesavuori/example-aws-stream-data-to-events) although a lot more progress has been made since.

In this session I plan to talk about how we implemented this by using Serverless components, the rationale behind the design choices and lessons learnt during the design and implementation.

Speaker: Anurag Kale

Have you ever wondered why AWS cloud grows the way it does? There are more and more new services added. When I started with AWS, there were fewer than 100 services, now there are over 200. Will it ever end? Is there an alternative to the cloud?
The answers to these questions can be found in the universal doctrines and processes that describe the evolution of things. My presentation was inspired by Simon Wardley's book, which describes these mechanisms. As an engineer, I find them fascinating, as they allow me to better understand the world.

Speaker: Paweł Zubkiewicz
