Abstract
Those of us who care a lot about developer experience would certainly agree: AWS is, undeniably, an experience.
This session explores the quirks, overlaps, and “wait, why?” moments that make AWS both impressive and deeply relatable. Expect an affectionate look at the strange reality of using a platform that can do everything except explain itself briefly.
