Microservice Architecture

Techcombank’s journey from monolithic to microservices architecture demonstrated significant improvements in scalability and maintainability. The session covered containerization strategies using AWS ECS and EKS.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

VPBank’s implementation of DDD principles in their cloud modernization project showed how proper domain modeling can accelerate development cycles and improve code quality.

Event-Driven Architecture

Renova Cloud’s presentation on integrating event-driven patterns with AWS EventBridge and Lambda functions provided practical insights into building resilient, loosely-coupled systems.

Compute Evolution

The evolution from traditional EC2 instances to serverless computing with Lambda and containerized workloads on Fargate represents a paradigm shift in how we approach application deployment.

Amazon Q Developer

AI-powered development assistant that helps with code generation, debugging, and optimization. The demo showed 40% improvement in development velocity when integrated into existing workflows.

Lessons Learned

Design Thinking

  • GenAI integration requires careful consideration of data privacy and security
  • User-centric design principles apply equally to AI-powered applications
