Pre-conference workshop
Modern Developer Experience with AWS
Pre-conference Immersion Day @ Breezy Dev Conf
When: Wednesday 10.9, 9:30–13:30
Where: Wasa Innovation Center, 2nd floor
Discover how modern AWS developer tools are changing the way we build software! In this hands-on workshop, you'll experience Amazon Q Developer—AWS's comprehensive AI assistant that revolutionizes your entire development workflow. Beyond just code completion, Q Developer helps you architect solutions, analyze your codebase, troubleshoot issues, transform existing code, and even understand complex documentation, all while adhering to AWS best practices and security guidelines.
AWS experts will guide you through practical exercises using your own AWS sandbox account. You'll experience how Q Developer assists you with everything from architectural decisions and security reviews to API implementation and infrastructure-as-code optimization. You'll also get hands-on experience with Q Developer's ability to explain complex AWS concepts, generate detailed documentation, and provide contextual recommendations throughout your development process. No previous AWS experience needed but it is recommended to have at least a basic understanding of development work related tasks. Perfect for developers, IT admins, DevOps engineers, and anyone wanting to see what's new in cloud development.
Free of charge!
