What this session covers

What does it take to solve problems everyone says are impossible? In this keynote, Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, reflects on 20 years of AWS and the engineering culture that repeatedly turned “it can’t be done” into production systems used by millions. A story about constraints, refusal to accept the status quo, and the invisible work that makes everything else possible.
