To our beloved JJLakers:

We are excited to share with you that our friends at AWS are currently offering a number of helpful workshops for startups. Below are business and technical focused workshops delivered by the AWS Startup team—all of whom are former founders, investors, startup executives, or solution architects. If you can’t make a live session (or if it’s all booked up), you can sign up to receive a recording after the workshop concludes. These sessions are invite-only, so please do not share them publicly. Spots are limited for the virtual live sessions and they’re first come, first served.

Ask an AWS Solutions Architect Anything.| August 23rd

Have a technical question about infrastructure or engineering?

Sessions will be grouped by topic, including database strategy, enterprise security, web app architectures, containerized web application, HIPAA for healthcare/life sciences startups, setting up AI/ML workloads, and more. Those who attend a session will also be able to listen in on relevant questions asked by other startups on the same topic and vote up the questions you’d like addressed the most. Each session will last for up to an hour and be hosted on Zoom.
