Bio

Hi 👋🏽

I’m Sandro, a fullstack developer specialized in AWS & Serverless. I love building digital projects that solve real problems.

Over the past few years, I’ve launched everything from weekend side projects to high-scale APIs handling 100 million monthly requests. I love building digital products, see my projects!

I work as a freelance developer & consultant. If you need help with your web application or want to improve your Cloud Infrastructure, reach out, and let’s chat about how I can help.

I’ve published two AWS books: AWS Fundamentals & the CloudWatch Book I believe you truly learn technology by applying it, not just studying for certifications. I focus on that in my content.

Always up for a coffee and a good tech conversation. Let’s connect! ☕

Event-Driven Architecture for the Real World: From Architecture to Implementation with EventBridge and TypeScript

Room: C1 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 45 min

Event-Driven Architecture sounds great in theory, but how does it work in production? In this session, I’ll show you how we implement EventBridge in the real world, using practical examples from a blogging platform.

We’ll explore key architectural decisions like the subscription pattern and how to structure your events properly. Then we’ll get hands-on with TypeScript and CDK, covering event validation with zod and middy, error handling patterns, and implementing idempotency. All examples will be based on actual production code that you can adapt for your own projects.
