After discovering the hilarity and humility of having a robotics degree and working as a pick and place humanoid I decided to reinvent myself by learning python and became an active member of the meetup technology scene. Since then, I have gained a range of diverse experience in a variety of industries in Europe from startups in a team of 2 all the way up to large scale enterprises and FTSE100 companies. I joined AWS in April 2020: right when the world turned into a live Black Mirror episode and I kept sane during lockdown by knitting cthulu masks. - ## Mike Mead Chief Consulting Officer, The Scale Factory Mike has been working with the AWS platform for over 11 years and has spent the past 7 years working primarily with SaaS start-ups at The Scale Factory.

This session is for startups who want to find out the best ways to build their minimal viable product (MVP) on AWS. You’ll get an overview of how startups build MVPs using services like API Gateway, Amplify, Lambda, Managed Kubernetes on AWS, Lightsail, and Database options. After this session, you’ll be able to pick the right technologies and use pre-configured architectures to speed up your development. ### Nov 9th | Session 2: Building Features and shipping your MVP (3pm GMT) Build features as per your MVP requirements. Eric Ries (author of *The Lean Startup*) tells startups to adopt a Build → Measure → Learn feedback loop. Ries says, “The fundamental activity of a startup is to turn ideas into products, measure how customers respond, and then learn whether to pivot or persevere.“ Startups that are able to execute the Build → Measure → Iterate cycle fast are the ones that succeed. In order to execute fast, you need to be able to build tech that can evolve as your requirements evolve. Once you’ve built out all the remaining requirements it’s time to get user feedback. To ship our web app, we can use the Amplify Console. The AWS Amplify Console provides a Git-based workflow for hosting full-stack serverless web apps with continuous deployment. ### Nov 10th | Session 1: How to Pivot to a Remote Sales Strategy (2pm GMT) (HubSpot) In times of uncertainty, sometimes the initial vision has to make way for something new.
