There is a misunderstanding, that everything is possible with the Serverless Services in AWS, for example that your Lambda function may scale without limitations. But each AWS service (not only Serverless) has a big list of quotas that everybody needs to understand and take into account during the development.

In this talk I’ll explain the most important things to be aware of for the scalability of the AWS Serverless services, explain quotas (from the hyper scalability point of view, but not only) of the services like API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora Serverless, SQS, S3 and others and how to architect your solution with these quotas and technical concepts of the distributed systems in mind like token bucket algorithm, throughput and burst rate, concurrency, retry with exponential backoff and jitter and others.

AI isn’t replacing developers—it’s redefining their role. In this fast-paced 15-minute talk, we’ll explore how tools like AWS Bedrock for Agents are transforming coding into orchestration, and developers into architects and problem-solvers. Say goodbye to the 8-hour console grind and hello to workflows where AI handles the mundane.

Packed with real-world lessons (and a few funny AI fails), you’ll learn how to thrive in this new era—where the smartest developers aren’t writing more code, but guiding AI to do it for them.

This talk showcases how Stormit, as an AWS Advanced Partner, designed and delivered a scalable, event-driven data platform for a fast-growing biotech startup. Leveraging AWS services (S3, Glue, Athena, SQS, Lambda, Kinesis Data Firehose) and Snowflake’s Snowpipe, we automated data pipelines for multiple log types and analytics. Attendees will learn how to architect modern, serverless data pipelines, automate data ingestion and transformation.

In today’s app development world, developers face many choices for handling authorization - from built-in framework solutions to third-party packages. Amazon Verified Permissions offers a cloud-based approach with its Cedar policy language, but is it worth adding to your tech stack?

Join this session for a hands-on look at AVP through practical examples. We’ll break down how Cedar’s policy language works, show you integration options that actually work, and honestly discuss the challenges you might face. Most importantly, we’ll dive deep into the pricing model to help you make an informed decision about whether AVP is the right fit for your authorization requirements.

You’ve been hearing a lot about security best practices, but you’re not convinced they can really make a difference? Do you think your resources are safe only because nobody would notice your random IP address? In this presentation, I will share real-life attack scenarios to convince you that misconfigurations can have dire consequences.

Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of real-world examples, complete with screenshots. I will discuss multiple different attack vectors to demonstrate the diverse range of threats organizations face in today’s digital landscape.

Learn how to design and deploy autonomous, context-aware AI systems using agentic principles on AWS. Real-world projects demonstrate how business needs and technical requirements shape architecture and drive key decisions. By examining several customer-facing conversational systems, the session reveals common challenges, effective solutions, and valuable insights for moving from proof of concept to production-ready AI.
