Agenda

Day 1- Become More Innovative!

Time	Topic
10:00 - 10:15	Keynote: Becoming a High Frequency Developer with Jeff Barr, AWS Chief Evangelist & VP
10:20 - 10:50	Session 1: Boost Your Developer Speed Overview: How can you up your game in software development by increasing the speed at which you release software to your customers, reducing bad code, and becoming happier in the process? The answer: Modern Application Development. Modern applications are built with a combination of new architecture patterns, operational models, and software delivery processes, that in combination allow builders to innovate faster while reducing risks, errors, frustration, and cost. What you will learn: How to get started with modern application development How to build microservices How to automate software delivery end-to-end Tools and tips for modern application development Services: AWS Amplify, AWS Lambda, AWS AppSync, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Code services Presenter: Gerardo Estaba, AWS Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services Guest Presenter: Elliott Murray, Head Of Technology, DiUS
10:55 - 11:25	Session 2: Building on a Budget: How to keep your costs down while moving fast Overview: Too often, Cost Optimisation becomes a concern after an unexpected bill comes in, causing panic, kneejerk reactions and completely throwing out delivery dates. You'll learn common cost pitfalls, how to avoid them, and the tools you have to prevent bill shock, all without losing focus on building value for your business. What are some quick steps you can take today, that will pay off in the long run? What are things to be aware of as you scale? This session is for Developers, DevOps, and IT managers for solo or small teams. What you will learn: Common causes of bill shock Available tools for cost optimisation Setting up billing alerts Choosing the right architecture and services and leveraging them AWS support for Startups Services: AWS AutoScaling, AWS Batch, AWS Budgets, AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Fargate, AWS Fleet, AWS Instance Scheduler, AWS Lambda, AWS Trusted Advisor, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances, Amazon Relational Database Service Presenter: Nigel Gardiner, AWS Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
11:30 - 12:00	Session 3: Modern Application Observability Overview: In modern, microservices-based applications, it’s critical to have end-to-end observability of each microservice and the communications between them in order to quickly identify and debug issues. In this session, we cover the techniques and tools to achieve consistent, full-application observability, including monitoring, tracing, logging, and service mesh. What you will learn: Hear from a customer perspective their challenges with Microservice observability and how they are solving for these What’s the difference between Monitoring and Observability Amazon Cloudwatch, AWS X-Ray and AWS AppMesh overview and best practices Best practices on how to get a unified view of operational health Logging, metrics and Tracing best practices and deployment options Services: AWS X-Ray, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS App Mesh, Amazon EKS Presenter: Chris Modica, Enterprise Solution Architect, Amazon Web Services Guest Presenters: Jonathan Kuleff, Technical Specialist (Platform), ROKT Eugene Babiche, Senior Software Engineer (Platform), ROKT
12:05 - 12:35	Session 4: Event sourcing with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka Overview: Despite not being a new concept, Event Sourcing as a means of storing and processing data has struggled to gain a lot traction in the IT landscapes of large enterprises. Some of the challenges to adoption for Event Sourcing has been in the complexity of building and operating a distributed and immutable log like Apache Kafka plus the lack of framework support. In this session we will hear from Simple Machines CTO, Andy Britz how in conjunction with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka and a new open source framework they have released called Simple Sourcing that the barrier to entry for development teams looking to explore Event Sourcing architectures has been considerably reduced. What you will learn: What is Event Sourcing and why it is useful The characteristics of Apache Kafka that make it useful for Event Sourcing Explore an Event Sourcing demo for a bank account ledger usecase that is built with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka and Simple Sourcing Services: Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), AWS Fargate, Amazon Elasticsearch Service Presenter: James Ousby, AWS Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services Guest Presenter: Andy Britz, CTO @ Simple Machines

Day 2- Unlock the Power of Data!

Time	Topic
10:00 - 10:15	Keynote: Becoming a High Frequency Developer with Jeff Barr, AWS Chief Evangelist & VP
10:20 - 10:50	Session 1: MLOps: Automation with Machine Learning Overview: Data Scientists and ML developers need more than a Jupyter notebook to create a ML model, test it, put into production and integrate it with a portal and/or a basic web/mobile application in a reliable and flexible way. There are three basic questions that you should consider when you start developing a ML model for a real Business Case: How can machine learning be implemented and not just remain a research project in an organisation? How long would it take your organisation to deploy a change that involves a single line of code? Can you do this on a repeatable, reliable basis? So, if you're not happy with the answers, MLOps is a concept that can help you: a) to create or improve the organisation culture for CI/CD; b) to create an automated infrastructure that will support your processes. This session will take you through a journey of operational models that will allow builders to innovate faster while reducing time errors and cost. What you will learn: How to get started with machine learning? How to automate machine learning delivery end-to-end? How can Developers, DevOps, Data- Engineers and Data-Scientists collaborate to build an effective outcome for Machine learning projects?
