Tech Events by AWS UG Dublin

with Tanya Vo (AWS Community Builder, Datadog) · Faye Ellis (AWS Hero, Pluralsight)

A three-hour, hands-on build night: you create a multi-agent system with Strands Agents and MCP by building your own AI game master. AWS UG Dublin runs it at the AWS AI Loft on Charlemont Square. The guides are Tanya Vo (AWS Community Builder, Datadog) and Faye Ellis (AWS Hero, Pluralsight). It opens with networking and ice-breakers, then moves into the workshop: creating and deploying agents, using vended and custom tools, connecting external services through MCP and getting several agents to cooperate. It's pitched at level 300, so expect to keep up, and you need your own laptop. Free, RSVP on Meetup. Why go: one of the few Dublin evenings where you leave having built a working multi-agent system rather than watched slides about one. Best for developers already comfortable with Python and AWS who want agent architecture in their hands.

with Patrick Palmer (Principal Security Specialist Solutions Architect, AWS) · Tanya Vo (Lightning talk speaker, Fidelity Investments)

The AWS User Group Dublin takes over the Button Factory on Curved Street for an evening of practitioner talks on building and running things on AWS. Patrick Palmer, Principal Security Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, has the main slot at 18:00: "The Next Heartbleed Is Coming. Are You Ready?" on frontier AI models accelerating vulnerability research, the post-quantum cryptography migration, and why the visibility and automation both demand are better treated as one shared capability than as separate projects. Tanya Vo of Fidelity Investments follows with a ten-minute talk on the AWS community programmes. More speakers to be announced. Free, registration from 17:45, talks run to 19:45. RSVP on Meetup. Why go: a security talk with real technical content from someone who does the work at AWS, in a room of Dublin developers, architects and founders rather than a vendor audience. Best for engineers and technical leads who own production infrastructure.

with Luciano Mammino (Senior Architect, fourTheorem)

The AWS Dublin user group's monthly technical gathering. This edition: Luciano Mammino (AWS Serverless Hero, fourTheorem) walks through a real production serverless podcast transcription pipeline using Durable Lambda Functions, ECS GPU-accelerated instances, and Amazon Bedrock — a concrete architecture you can borrow from. Practical deep-dive for cloud architects, developers, and DevOps engineers. 158 RSVPs, free to attend.
