Bring your ideas, war stories, and "aha moments" to this interactive session with an AWS solutions architect, where we discuss cloud architecture best practices. We highlight specific "light bulb" moments for AWS customers as the cloud redefined how they think about scalability, designing for failure, constrained thinking, elasticity, parallel processing, loose coupling, and more. Come with your own story or an interest in learning how AWS forever changed the way your colleagues think about the IT world.

Think parallel
One computer for 100 hours = 100 computers for one hour
Smoother scaling
Smaller blast radius for failure
Most software has scaling limits separate from hardware

Don’t fear constraints
Limits are there for a reason
Functional beats aspirational every time
Plan for what you can deliver
Ship what works
Ship when you can
Iterate, iterate, iterate
