Our systems used to behave the same way every time. Now we give them judgment and agency, so they decide and act on their own, and the same inputs can produce different outcomes.

AI is dramatically accelerating technological evolution, with new architectural primitives emerging monthly. This unprecedented pace transforms the Solutions Architect (SA) role from system designer to change navigator.

Tight coupling of your microservices is the operational path to pain. In this chalk talk, explore event-driven architecture (EDA) techniques to reduce application complexity, increase performance, and improve reliability using asynchronous design patterns.

The path to SaaS is different for many organizations. There are a range of different business and technical factors that influence how you choose to move an existing application to a multi-tenant delivery model.

In this breakout session, learn the essential skills required to become a cloud solutions architect. The role is challenging and rewarding and comes with a bright career path.

In this builders’ session, learn about best practices and relevant services that help you build an API proxy to create multi-tenant awareness of services on AWS. Via hands-on exercises, learn how to implement tenant identity and tenant awareness into a new or existing architecture, maintaining cost efficiency by correctly and securely isolating tenants and attributing tenant usage.
