The best internet of things adventures start with a blinky light and end with a microservice invocations, and this talk is no exception. For those new to the world of IOT, fear not! For upon entering this most epic of adventures I am not only going to show you how to build, connect and architect your very own serverless powered IOT enabled devices but also demonstrate a fully working buzzwire game, as seen at AWS reInvent Vegas 2022. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to join us on this epic IOT adventure!

If the thought of working with Kafka makes you feel a bit lost, DON'T PANIC. There's a vast and beautiful ecosystem surrounding Apache Kafka and together we can adventure through it. We'll take a look at the basics of how Kafka works, what it can do for you, and its key components.

We'll start off by understanding the importance of events and why we'd even want to build systems with them. Taking the concept of a key-value pair to model events, we’ll explore topics, partitioning, and replication, and look at how to use the Producer and Consumer APIs. From there, we'll see how to use Kafka in the cloud. You'll also discover how to do stream processing with Kafka, and the importance of schema management. ✨

What to bring: a curious mindset.

What you'll come away with: Knowledge of the fundamental concepts and ecosystem of Apache Kafka.

The Edge is the new frontier of computing possibilities, offering promises, opportunities, and it’s own set of challenges. In this talk, we’ll break down what it is, why it’s awesome, and how it fits into your application architecture.

We’ll cover things like:
- What are the benefits
- What are the limitations
- When it makes sense
- When it doesn’t make sense
- How to get started

This talk looks at the range of compute options, describes them, and explains where edge compute fits in. It's not a replacement for any one part, but an addition.

Modern applications all have one thing in common: They need secure data access to provide users. Purists will turn to some native Cloud infrastructure, spend days reading about how to spin up a server and add all the extras required to run an app. Another technique is to use a ready-made DB as a service tool with out-of-the-box integration for data access. Both approaches are valid, but we often sacrifice and let go of specific features with each choice. What if we want to add hosting? How do we automate webhooks? Can we migrate to a different infrastructure at a moment's notice? We must go far away to an entirely different Realm to achieve this. This is where we discuss the Mongo Atlas services with the Realm-Web SDK. Think of a ready-made suite with all you need. Authentication, GraphQL, Cloud Functions, and many more are just the features we will demonstrate live.

Green coding is a relatively new term and refers to programming code in a way that minimises the energy consumption of software, and therefore attempts to limit the potential environmental impact. One google search produces 0.07g of CO2. Visiting google.de for one year 10000 times a month (328 times a day) produces as much CO2 as boiling water for 642 cups of tea. But where does the tech industry spend its energy? These days data centers are responsible for a big and steady chunk of energy consumption. Most developers don’t have an influence on how much energy data centers need. However, we do have an influence on the code we write and where we run it. All of us can impact how much energy our code consumes and by green coding, we can reduce emissions steadily together.
