Do you really need platform teams?

Room: Zaal 11 | Time: 14:10 | Duration: 30

Platform engineering is one of the emerging trends in the tech. It promises to increase developer productivity and reduce cognitive load. Platform engineering focuses on abstracting the complexity of managing infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability through Internal Developer Platforms (IDP). However, having worked in both a startup and a large bank, we experience platform engineering as a burden. The promise of empowering engineers sounds good, but the fallacy often lies in the execution.

How to use modern serverless with GraphQL

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 14:10 | Duration: 30

In the year 2024, serverless is much more than just AWS Lambda Functions. Now, it is a full-blown ecosystem of managed services with the concept of paying for what you use. The API level could be written without computing services like Lambda Functions or containers with Fargate. I will show the audience how to deploy the GraphQL API with JavaScript Resolvers, EventBridge, and CDK. Disclaimer: no Lambda Functions will be called during the talk and a demo.

The talk will include 2 case scenarios pertaining to privilege escalation through over-permissive policies and associated roles.
