About this event
After a great AWS Community Day, we are happy to be back to our usual AWS Community events 🚀
Powered by the passion for cloud, data, and community.
We are still looking for a host, and this time, Starburst sponsors us and provides technical insights.**
On Nov 11th, join us for a side event at Web Summit dedicated to real-world cloud solutions! Bring your most challenging questions — this one’s designed to be interactive and technical!
👉 Here’s a sneak peek of the agenda:
18:30 – Check-in and Networking
19:00 – Talks
20:30 — 22:00 – Networking and more 🍻
First Talk
Speaker: Assaf Oppenheimer — Senior Software Engineer at Starburst, working on Starburst Enterprise and the Starburst Gateway.
Title: Trino & Starburst in the AI Era:** When to Choose Enterprise vs. Galaxy
Abstract: Trino gives you fast SQL across lakes, warehouses, and databases without moving data. Starburst turns Trino into a production-grade platform in two ways: Starburst Enterprise (self-managed) and Starburst Galaxy (fully managed).
In this session, we’ll show how both are used today not only for analytics, but also for AI workloads — including generating embeddings in Iceberg, vector search at query-time, and building RAG-style pipelines directly in SQL. We’ll compare where SEP vs. Galaxy fit best for governance, performance, and AI integration, and provide clear guidance on how to decide between them for real workloads.
Duration: 30 minutes
Second Talk
Speaker: Anton Babenko – AWS Community Hero / Terraform influencer
Title: Terraform and compliance-as-code
Abstract: Join me for an interactive session where we’ll explore real-world approaches to implementing compliance-as-code with Terraform, covering compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 and HIPAA, tools like Prowler, Checkov, AWS Config, and, of course, the open-source terraform-aws-modules. Bring your most challenging questions and get ready for hands-on answers as we discuss compliance automation step by step.
Duration: 30 minutes
A massive shoutout to all of YOU for showing up — and to our amazing partners Starburst, who made this possible. 👏
Grab a drink ☕, some snacks 🍕, and meet someone new 👋, and get ready to be INSPIRED, CONNECTED, and EMPOWERED.
Let’s build. Let’s share. Let’s grow — together. 💥
