Are Property Graphs living up to the hype? Maybe the model itself is the problem.We made the move from relational databases to graph databases to escape "Join Pain" and model the real world more naturally — but for many engineering teams, that promise has curdled into something worse: the Spaghetti Graph.Complex queries. Ugly workarounds for multi-party relationships. Fragile schemas that shatter with every iteration and become a nightmare to maintain.The good news? The problem isn't your data.In this talk, Joshua Send breaks down why standard Labeled Property Graphs (LPGs) fall short when applied to complex domains — and introduces TypeDB, a strongly-typed database that brings together the connectivity of a graph with the integrity of a relational model.You'll come away understanding:Why LPGs struggle at scale and complexityWhat "Spaghetti Graphs" are and how teams fall into the trapHow TypeDB's type system enforces data integrity without sacrificing flexibilityWhen a strongly-typed graph database is the right tool for the jobWhether you're deep in a graph migration, evaluating database architectures, or just tired of schema chaos — this one's for you.

Real cloud developers aren’t pushing straight to AWS.They’re building and testing everything locally before a single deploy goes live.This episode breaks down the modern cloud dev workflow and how tools like LocalStack make it possible to move fast without burning money (or trust).Learn how local-first dev culture is changing the cloud game.

LocalStack Applications in Developer Hub provides sample templates to help LocalStack users adopt real-world scenarios to rapidly and conveniently create, configure, and deploy applications locally. ## Getting startedIn this demo, we will setup a Sagemaker on Localstack

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible.In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn:What MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)Real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more.Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation.If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.
