Provisioning cloud applications can be a challenging process that requires you to perform manual actions, write custom scripts, learn domain-specific languages, or have deep knowledge of the platform required to deploy. Tools like the AWS CDK provide powerful abstractions built on good practices enabling teams to deploy faster and focus on their business applications. In this talk, we’ll dive into some real-world use cases and demonstrate how the AWS CDK can help development and platform teams meet their objectives with less friction along the way.
Adam is an experienced Cloud Architect and Engineer with an emphasis in designing, building, and automating highly available, fault-tolerant, and secure backend infrastructure and code delivery pipelines in the cloud. He has led many successful migrations as well as new workload deployments to AWS, with a heavy focus on leveraging cloud native services where possible. Adam’s goal is to deliver products to the business at the speed required to compete while removing the heavy lifting when it can be done. If development and operations teams are sleeping at night while the system is stable, resilient, and self-healing, he’s done his job.
