We all love Lambda - however, developers often overuse it.

In this session and true event-driven fashion, we will explore functionless architecture - connecting AWS services directly through native integrations rather than Lambda and SDK.

Eliminating the need to bundle and deploy these functions, as well as saving on cost. During the demo, you’ll see a functionless application build with AWS CDK, its direct integration to various AWS Services such as API Gateway, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, Step Functions, handling business logic and data flow.

This talk will focus on how small-scale applications can effectively utilize AWS serverless technologies. We’ll discuss foundational services like Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 and CloudFront, demonstrating how to build modern web applications that start small and scale seamlessly.

Using frameworks like SvelteKit and runtimes like Node.js, attendees will learn about cost-effective design principles and architectural patterns that ensure their projects are sustainable and ready for growth. Discover how AWS can empower your side projects with minimal overhead, allowing you to focus on delivering value and innovation.

LLMs, AI agents, machine-learning models are all the rage now - everybody uses them.

Running them as Kubernetes apps in the cloud, however, is a bit tricky - at the very least, you need expensive specialized hardware (GPUs) and a mindset tweak to work around the special nature of these workloads.

Let’s delve into what you need to do, what tools are available, and what fun and frustrating challenges await you when you decide to run containerized GPU workloads in Kubernetes in the cloud today - might actually change tomorrow, who knows?
