As you develop a Serverless application, you encounter new challenges, including testing, IaC tools, security, and observability.
Over the past four years, CyberArk, an identity security SaaS provider, has embarked on a journey to implement serverless technology. We have scaled from a team of 10 developers to hundreds across our organization while maintaining quality and best practices. We achieved this scale with the implementation of self-service serverless templates.
Serverless templates are a powerful tool that significantly accelerates the adoption of serverless technology. They provide pre-configured blueprints for quick setup and initial configuration. However, their adoption does necessitate cultural, procedural, and organizational changes.
In this talk, you will learn what defines a great serverless template and how to increase its adoption across the organization, thus accelerating serverless development.

Maintaining a good temperature is important if you want to make really good BBQ. In this spinoff to my very popular IoT based talk from AWS re:Invent 2022 we'll, take a look at my IoT enabled BBQ and how it has evolved to version 2.0.
We'll be using Raspberry Pi and AWS IoT Greengrass. Dive deep into the AWS services you need to create a serverless, event-driven system, using services like AWS IoT Core, AWS Lambda, AWS StepFunctions, and Amazon EventBridge. How can we create a system that monitor and notify when a temperature falls outside of a specified range. Perfecting our BBQ.
