Talks

Talk 1: Log management for Kotlin multi-platform projects By Carlos Monzon

Talk 2: Serverlessing like a pro

Discover the magic of serverless as you learn about building and deploying serverless functions that automatically scale, trigger instantly, and vanish when idle. We’ll explore real-world use cases, live-code your first function, learn what’s beyond just functions and see event-driven architecture in action.
