Serverless Data Streaming at Scale
Anahit Pogosova
Everything fails, all the time. This is what Dr. Vogels likes to say. This is what we have learned over and over again while implementing serverless data streaming at scale. I’ll take the example of my customer, Yle, and talk about the services we used, issues we faced and lessons we learned.

GitOps in action, powered by Alexa
Jimmy Dahlqvist
GitOps in action will be a talk about GitOps with focus on demonstration. We build a CI/CD pipeline, using AWS Code products, then we integrate everything with an Alexa skill to be able to trigger builds, get status, deploy using voice.

Integration testing a cloud-native application with JavaScript
Markus Tacker
In this talk I will take you through the challenge of testing a cloud-native application. I will cover the challenges when developing solutions on top of serverless components which you cannot run on your own machine and how I designed a BDD driven approach to run the integration tests.

An overview of purpose built databases in AWS
Anurag Kale
Building a new application? Which database should you choose? Should it be relational/NoSQL/both? How much re-skilling my team would need? Is there a simpler way? Sure there is. I plan to cover all the DB offerings in AWS portfolio. This will help people to choose the right DB for their next app.

Workshops
There will be held four workshops during the AWS Community Day. These will have limited number of seats and reserved seating. Information about when reservations open will be sent to everyone with a registered ticket for the community day.
Serverless Monitoring and Troubleshooting
Yan Cui
In this workshop you will learn how to troubleshoot issues in your serverless application, including log aggregation, monitoring & alerting, capturing and forwarding correlation IDs and tracing executions through both synchronous and asynchronous micro-service communications. You will learn about AWS services such as CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs and X-Ray, how they work and where they fall short, and how tools such as Lumigo can help you go further.
