GOTO EDA Day 2022, brought to you by AWS and partners, explored AWS Serverless technology that has been purpose built for building applications with event driven architecture. CEO Peter Elger and Consultant Senior Software Engineer, Guilherme Dalla Rossa, were delighted to join other industry thought leaders from AWS, as they hosted their talk: ‘Observing all the Serverless Things’.

Check out this joint talk by Peter Elger and Guilherme Dalla Rossa from GOTO EDA Day London. In this talk, Peter and Guilherme approach the topic of observability for serverless applications on AWS. They share best practices and tips on how to be effective with CloudWatch. Before introducing our open source tool-kit for observability, ‘SLIC Watch’, which automates away most of the pain of setting up dashboards and alarms in CloudWatch, making it easier to achieve great levels of observability.

CTO Eoin Shanaghy gave a talk covering the highs and lows of building Node.js apps with Serverless. The open source, JavaScript-based SLIC Starter project was presented, showing how it is used to quickly adopt best practices and get to a successful production deployment without the pain.

CEO Peter Elger spoke on how to leverage AI services with Javascript. Most people associate AI and Machine Learning with the Python language. This talk explored how to get started building AI enabled platforms and services using full stack Javascript & Serverless technologies.

CEO Peter Elger spoke at Predict, one of Europes leading data science and machine learning conferences, about the fast track to AI with Serverless. The talks covered examples from Peter and Eoin’s book ‘AI as a service’ as well as some real world projects.
