AWS Brighton User Group – APIs in the Fast Lane
Join us for Meetup #13 of the AWS Brighton User Group!
We’ve all been there – your API docs are lying, your SDKs are out of date, and you’re drowning in a sprawling mess of WAFs and custom authentication logic. Your teams want to move fast, but your API has become the bottleneck.
In this session, Ryan will share how design-first approaches using tools like Smithy and API Gateway can help keep our code, documentation, and SDKs in sync through code generation. Ways you can centrally manage gateways within clear domain boundaries to limit your attack surface. Finally I’ll look at practical strategies for migrating existing endpoints to a governed, managed service – all while enabling teams to move faster than ever before.
Notes: He’ll be explicitly talking about API Gateway, Lambda@Edge, Cloudfront Functions, Cloudfront, WAF and the AWS open source tool, Smithy.
Our supporters, Silicon Brighton, will live-stream the event on YouTube.
RSVP now for this free event, where you can network with peers, learn from our distinguished speakers, and enjoy free beer and pizza courtesy of our sponsor, Logicata.
