April is Startup Grind’s "Mentorship Month" Presented by AWS (Amazon Web Services). Why is mentorship important? From helping you navigate your business and avoid making “iceberg” decisions to fostering certain partnerships, a mentor can help guide you through your entrepreneurial journey.
This month, we have a special mentor lined up. Whether you are a Startup Founder, Technical Co-Founder, Developer or DevOps Engineer, this event is for you! Pour yourself a glass of wine and join us for our Virtual Fireside Chat with Brian LeRoux, Co-Founder and CTO of Begin.com and the AWS Serverless Hero. Brian will take us back to his days with Nitobi, where he was a primary contributor to the open source PhoneGap framework, which led to its Adobe acquisition and how his love for serverless technology shaped the birth of Begin.com, his current startup with Co-Founder Ryan Block.
How fast is fast? -- “Modern apps, built fast AF” -- Using AWS Lambda (Deploying Serverless Functions), Amazon’s Serverless Compute service, it allows you to run your code without provisioning or managing other servers. You pay for what you use and every function is completely isolated. This translates to lower costs, faster time to market and faster bug isolation/resolution. Join us with a night of stimulating conversation with an AWS Serverless Hero and how Begin.com can change the way you develop applications and bring higher quality products to market quicker.
What you will learn from this fireside chat:
Brian LeRoux is the co-founder and CTO of Begin.com and core maintainer of the serverless framework OpenJS Architect. Begin.com makes deploying code leveraging AWS Lambda frictionless. Your first deploy is instantaneous and subsequent deploys complete in seconds with zero downtime. Traditional methods of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment are simplified through Begin.com approach to deployment and compute management - AWS Lambda.
