AWS just released Lambda Web Functions, a major update to AWS Lambda. In this session, Samrat Karak, AWS Lambda Product Manager, explains what's new and where Web Functions are most useful. Then see how to run and test them locally with LocalStack before you run them in your cloud environments.

Testing in the cloud = slow builds, fragile staging, surprise bills. Let’s talk about how developers are flipping the script and using local cloud environments to test smarter, faster, and cheaper without breaking production. Bonus: You’ll learn how LocalStack lets you simulate AWS on your machine. Game changer.

Why wait for the cloud to test your app? In this episode, we’ll write and run an integration test to validate our LocalStack app. You’ll learn how to upload a file, trigger the Lambda-SQS-DynamoDB flow, and assert the results all locally.

Want to modernize your CI/CD workflows? 🚀 In this session, Jason McCallister introduces Dagger, the open-source programmable CI/CD engine that’s redefining how we build, test, and ship software. You'll learn what makes Dagger different from traditional CI/CD tools, how to write pipelines as code and run them locally, how to compose reusable, testable pipeline components, real-world examples of solving CI headaches with Dagger, and integration tips with Docker, Kubernetes, and beyond. Whether you’re a DevOps pro, platform engineer, or just tired of brittle YAML, this talk will show you how Dagger helps you ship faster and smarter.
