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.

Building plug-n-play serverless million scale reusable OTP service on AWS

Room: Zaal 11 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

Now-a-days due to security considerations passwords alone aren’t enough. One Time Password(OTP) has become norm in logins, critical transactions or new user verification in most consumer apps especially banking, travel and healthcare etc. Third-party OTP services offer a quick solution but they often come with high costs, vendor-lock in rate limits, lack of control and customizations. In this talk, I’ll share the blueprint and our journey for how we built our own centralized OTP service on AWS, slashing our authentication costs while gaining full control over our user journey.

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.

Serverless vs Kubernetes: the final showdown

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

There is no silver bullet!’—while true, that won’t stop us from stepping into the ring to argue over these two opinionated and polarising approaches to cloud computing. In this lively, no-holds-barred debate, we’ll spar over complexity, scalability, costs, and real-world use cases. Whether you’re Team Serverless, Team Kubernetes, or still undecided, join us as we wrestle with the tradeoffs that come with each model. Together, we’ll unpack the biases and prejudices we all bring to architecture decisions, challenge common assumptions, and dive into critical topics like security, legacy application modernization, and how each approach fits into event-driven architectures.

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.
