Welcome to our November event. We’re delighted to welcome Eduardo Aparicio Cardenes, Senior Frontend Engineer, Super, and a careers panel including Kimberley Clements, Senior Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Mike Mead, Technical Director, Scale Factory Here’s what they’re bringing: 1.6 million transactions a day, over €300M in deposits a month, all running on shared Amazon S3 and CloudFront. Eduardo and his team moved that live payment frontend onto dedicated, jurisdiction-owned infrastructure with Terraform, and finished with zero production incidents. Tonight Eduardo is giving us the part the architecture diagram leaves out: dual deploys, feature flags and a way back that never needed an emergency release. Same AWS console, very different job. Inside AWS, at a consulting partner, alongside the public sector: where you do the work shapes the problems you get and where your career goes next. Tonight our panel walks us through what each path looks like day to day, what it gives you and what it costs. A big thank you to our sponsors Cloudscaler & Rayo for making this event possible. Programme: * 18:00: Arrival, registration * 18:15: Talks start * 20:00: Networking with food and a drink provided by the generosity of our sponsors.
