Our first speaker of the night was Yan Cui, Server Architect Developer at Yubl, a regular speaker at user groups and conferences. He spoke about "AWS Lambda from the Trenches" and shared his experiences in operating AWS Lambda in production, whilst transitioning from a traditional, monolithic system.
Our second speaker was Hassy Veldstra, the lead node.js Developer at artillery.io and a performance / load-testing consultant. They discussed lltrace, an experimental open-source project developed by the innovation team at Thomas Cook. It visualizes the architecture of your AWS Lambda-based apps written in Node.js. With lltrace you will have architecture diagrams that update themselves and never go out of date.
Our third speaker, Ahmed Nuamand is Co-Founder and Director of Development at Scout. Scout is a tech start-up working to provide real world analytics and behavioural analysis to the retail sector. Ahmed gave us a sneak peak into how their entire analytics and data ingestion stack is completely serverless, yet still handles over 20m new rows of data per customer per day.
