Breaking the Security vs. Speed Trade-off with AWS Config

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

Getting AWS Platforms just right is hard. You want to set tight permission policies, but developers still need to be able to do their job. You want to have an environment that is both secure and reliable, ensuring compliance while also giving developers the freedom to experiment and innovate. AWS Config is often the missing puzzle piece to solve this paradox. In this talk, I will demonstrate you can create synergy between providing Infrastructure as Code templates to support your developers, granting the right amount of permissions to enable them to do their job, and finally utilizing AWS Config to ensure everything remains within security constraints.

From 0 to 1 Million Events - EDA for the real world

Room: Zaal 14 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

Event-Driven architectures are everywhere. Building them in a serverless, cloud-native way has never been easier. But many developers struggle with issues around type-safety, rule architecture, and scaling. In this talk, I’ll show you the best practices I’ve learned working with EventBridge and TypeScript in a startup handling over 1 million events a month. I first show you why we chose EventBridge, how to structure events, and why 5 targets per rule are not an issue.

HTTP and MCP: Serverless LLM's access to API infrastructure. A modern solution.

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

With Anthropic’s release of MCP last year, many initially viewed it as just another LLM product. However, the March protocol update introduced HTTP connection methods, opening up exciting new possibilities for secure enterprise architecture. This enhancement enables MCP to support enterprise security standards—including Machine-to-Machine OAuth, OIDC, isolated architecture, and separation of duties—that the initial design couldn’t accommodate. Discover how you can build your own MCP server, integrate your existing APIs with MCP in a secure and cost-effective design, 100% serverless.

Step On It! Rapid Event-Based AWS Cost Control With Step Functions

Room: Zaal 11 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 30

Ever had a cloud bill you weren’t expecting? Managing cloud costs effectively isn’t just about cutting expenses; it’s about building smart, adaptable systems that respond to events in real time. In this session, we’ll explore how event-based architectures and serverless AWS services can transform how you monitor, manage and optimise cloud spend. You’ll learn to evaluate cloud-native tools, automate anomaly detection workflows, and design, deploy, and maintain real-time cost-control solutions through live demos.

Why Modular Monolith is a great starting architecture for a Serverless application?

Room: Zaal 10 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

In this talk we delve into modularity in serverless environments and compare monolithic, microservices, and serverless modular monolith architectures. Then we will further discuss the serverless modular monolith as an effective starting point due to its flexible deployment, scalability, and cost efficiency, paving the way for potential evolution into microservices if needed. Through practical examples and recent experiments, the talk emphasises PostNL’s successful adoption of this approach to enhance developer experience and manage complexity in logistics technology solutions.
