Talk Description: Need a serverless near real-time data streaming architecture? Just
take an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream and connect it to AWS Lambda. Simple! Is it, though?
But what happens in the real world? Let's start right there! In this session, explore
the intricacies of creating scalable, production-ready data streaming architectures
using KDS and Lambda. Delve into tips and best practices essential to navigating the
challenges and pitfalls inherent to distributed systems that arise along the way.
Observe how AWS services work and interact. And learn to embrace failures. Because, as
Dr. Werner Vogels likes to say: everything fails, all the time.

Talk Description: "Large Language Model (LLM)-based systems have demonstrated
remarkable advancements in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks,
particularly through the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach. This approach
addresses some of the pitfalls associated with LLMs, such as hallucinations or issues
related to the recentness of its training data. However, RAG systems may encounter
other challenges in real-world scenarios, including handling out-of-domain queries
(e.g., requesting medical advice from a finance app), struggling to generate meaningful
answers from poorly retrieved data, or failing to provide any answer at all. To address
these situations effectively, it is necessary to implement a fallback mechanism capable
of gracefully handling such scenarios.
This fallback mechanism can incorporate alternative strategies, such as conducting a
web search with the same query to retrieve more up-to-date information or utilizing
alternative information sources (such as Slack, Notion, Google Drive, etc.) to gather
more relevant data and generate a satisfactory or comprehensive response. However, the
question arises: how can we determine if the response is inadequate?
During this session, we will start from scratch and lay the groundwork for generative
AI applications. Next, we will explore various fallback mechanism techniques and ensure
that our system can assess the adequacy of a response and improve it if necessary
without human intervention. On the practical side, we will use the open-source LLM
framework Haystack and Amazon Bedrock foundation models to implement end-to-end RAG
systems. By the end of this talk, you will have learned to select the appropriate
fallback method for your use case, enabling you to develop more dependable and
versatile LLM-based systems and implement them effectively using Amazon Bedrock and
Haystack."

Talk Description: Service-to-service communications across EKS clusters, across VPCs or
across AWS accounts is really difficult to configure when it comes to managing
microservices applications. In this talk, I will explain how Amazon VPC Lattice can
help you with this problem without any prior networking expertise. Amazon VPC Lattice
is an application layer networking service that gives you a way to manage
service-to-service communication. In Amazon EKS, users can deploy AWS Gateway API
Controller, which is actually an implementation of Kubernetes Gateway API to setup this
connectivity with the VPC Lattice service and it also allows everyone to configure
HTTP, HTTPS and gRPC routes between applications.
