Tech Events at Dragon Hall Trust, London

with Prachi Gupta (Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, Data and AI, AWS) · Raymond Afuye (Data Engineer, Smarterise Integrated Services)

The eighth meetup of the AWS London Well-Architected User Group, working through the pillars of the Well-Architected Framework with people who specialise in it. Confirmed so far: Prachi Gupta, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect for Data and AI at AWS, on moving from a data lake to AI-ready analytics with S3 Tables in Amazon Quick; and Raymond Afuye, Data Engineer at Smarterise Integrated Services, on maximising efficiency on AWS through right-configuration. More speakers are being added through the month. Doors 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, with drinks, snacks and networking afterwards. Free, RSVP through Meetup. Why go: the most active AWS user group in London, and the talks stay on architecture practice rather than product launches. Best for engineers and architects running real workloads on AWS.

A focused AWS group for architects working through the Well-Architected framework in anger. Small, technical and free, at Dragon Hall in Covent Garden. September's bill: James Harding of Green Custard on tooling strategies for a more effective Well-Architected review, and Mahendran Selvakumar of Tata Consultancy Services on building an AWS Well-Architected MCP server. Doors 18:30 for a 19:00 start, with drinks and networking afterwards.
