API302: Serverless State Management & Orchestration for Modern Apps Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Keeping track of state and orchestrating the components of a distributed application is complex. AWS Step Functions makes the job simpler, faster, and more intuitive. In this session, learn how to leverage AWS Step Functions to design and run workflows for your serverless, containerized, and instance-based architectures. We explore practical applications of orchestration spanning different industries and workloads. For each, we walk through the architecture, lessons learned, and business outcomes. Expect to leave this session with a practical understanding of how to use orchestration to express your application's business logic more productively while improving its resilience.

API305: Choosing the Right Messaging Service for Your Distributed App Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In the cloud, modern apps are decoupled into independent building blocks, called microservices, which are easier to develop, deploy, and maintain. Messaging is a central tool used to connect and coordinate these microservices. AWS offers multiple messaging services, which address a variety of use cases. In this session, learn how to choose the service that's best for your use case as we present the key technical features of each. We pay special attention to integrating messaging services with serverless technology. We cover Amazon Kinesis, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SNS in detail with discussion of other services as appropriate.

API306: Build High-Throughput, Bursty Data Apps with Amazon SQS, SNS, & Lambda Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In this session, we discuss best practices for building serverless applications that handle high throughput and bursty data using Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda, including new features such as message filtering and SNS/SQS as event sources for Lambda will be covered in depth. Hear from our customers Enel and Letgo as they share their experiences and deployment strategies. Enel is a multinational energy company that is present in 34 countries across 5 continents, and serves nearly 71 million end-users. The company uses AWS as its platform for IoT and energy management. Letgo is one of the largest and fastest-growing apps to buy and sell locally, with over 100 million downloads and hundreds of millions of listings. Letgo uses AWS to process their online marketplace transactions.

API320: Develop Integrations for Salesforce and AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In this session, learn how Autodesk and FinancialForce have developed integrations between Salesforce and AWS applications, analytics, data lakes, and machine learning. Also learn what's new from Salesforce and AWS to help you build new customer experiences.

API325: ML Workflows with Amazon SageMaker and AWS Step Functions Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Learn how you can build, train, and deploy machine learning workflows for Amazon SageMaker on AWS Step Functions. Learn how to stitch together services, such as AWS Glue, with your Amazon SageMaker model training to build feature-rich machine learning applications, and you learn how to build serverless ML workflows with less code. Cox Automotive also shares how it combined Amazon SageMaker and Step Functions to improve collaboration between data scientists and software engineers. We also share some new features to build and manage ML workflows even faster.

API330: Predictive Scaling for More Responsive Applications Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Get a jump on traffic surges with Predictive Auto Scaling. AWS Auto Scaling now responds more quickly by analyzing past traffic trends. The new predictive capability looks at your incoming load and forecasts it into the future. Not only can you see ahead of time when and how your resources will scale, your resources are made available ahead of when they are needed to enable faster, more responsive applications. Come learn how Genesys uses Predictive Scaling to scale the infrastructure used to run their popular contact center solution, PureCloud, worldwide.

ARC202: Running Lean Architectures: How to Optimize for Cost Efficiency Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Aimed at solutions architects and technical managers, this session focuses on the practical ways our customers achieve cost-efficient architectures through service selection and configuration. We start by discussing the building block services. We cover the main trends, such as containers and serverless, and we explore some of the specific services and configurations customers have used. We also take you through real-life examples that can be implemented to minimize costs while driving innovation and business output. After you attend this session, you will understand what is possible on AWS, and you will know ways in which you can deploy new workloads or modify existing workloads for optimization.

ARC205: Scaling Up to Your First 10 Million Users Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Cloud computing provides a number of advantages, such as the ability to scale your web application or website on demand. If you have a new web application and want to use cloud computing, you might be asking yourself, "Where do I start?" Join us in this session for best practices on scaling your resources from one to millions of users. We show you how to best combine different AWS services, how to make smarter decisions for architecting your application, and how to scale your infrastructure in the cloud.

ARC209: Architecture Patterns for Multi-Region Active-Active Applications Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Do you need your applications to extend across multiple regions? Whether for disaster recovery, data sovereignty, data locality, or extremely high availability, many AWS customers choose to deploy services across regions. Join us as we explore how to design and succeed with active-active multi-region architectures. Please join us for a speaker meet-and-greet following this session at the Speaker Lounge (ARIA East, Level 1, Willow Lounge). The meet-and-greet starts 15 minutes after the session and runs for half an hour.
