AWS re:Invent 2018

AWS global infrastructure continues to innovate and scale. To sustain innovation and growth, Amazon uses AWS to design the next generation of cloud infrastructure. Accelerating the RTL to GDSII workflow, Amazon uses AWS for semiconductor design and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. In this session, we discuss the infrastructure and architectures that our own silicon teams use to design the next generation of cloud computing infrastructure. From switch technology to specialized hardware, the immense capacity, elasticity, and agility that AWS provides is powered by Amazon processors. Through partnerships and collaborations with many EDA vendors and semiconductor customers, Amazon continues to quickly advance technology at an unprecedented pace.

Do you have an idea for an app but don't know where to start? In this session, we walk you through the process of taking your idea to reality, and we show you all the infrastructure you need to understand along the way. We also show you how AWS platform services and SDKs can help you get to a quality release faster and then scale for success with serverless technologies. In addition, we demonstrate how you can build a scalable production-ready app quickly with GraphQL and machine language capabilities. Please join us for a speaker meet-and-greet following this session at the Speaker Lounge (ARIA East, Level 1, Willow Lounge). The meet-and-greet starts 15 minutes after the session and runs for half an hour.

Do you wonder what AWS thinks about mobile development? In this session, learn the very latest about the many AWS services that web and mobile developers can leverage to make cloud-enabled development possible, and hear what might be in store for the future.
