Deploying large-scale, serverless and asynchronous distributed systems - without end-to-end integrated tests

Modern distributed architectures are increasingly composed of large numbers of decoupled, asynchronous components. In AWS, these components are plumbed together via services like SQS, SNS, Kinesis and S3 often integrated via small and frequent numbers of microservices or lambdas. But how do you test these architectures if they are cloud native?

It’s 2018, and we can do better than deploying the entire stack and running a battery of E2E tests against them.

In his talk, Matt will demonstrate how you can scale development of large-scale systems across teams, technology and process, and unlock the agility of your cloud-native architecture.

WARNING: there will be code.

Using cf-shim to work around gaps in AWS CloudFormation

In the rush to launch services on AWS, sometimes they forget to provide full, or any support for CloudFormation. Trying to use these services when CI/CD systems can be troublesome. cf-shim is a simple tool that helps bridge those gaps in CloudFormation.

As always, if you've found a new tool or something else cool, or anything else you think the group might appreciate, we're always on the lookout for lightning talks - slides aren't necessary, just your enthusiasm. Contact us at melbourne@awsug.org.au.

We look forward to seeing you on the night!
