My Experience at AWS Cloud Day Malaysia 2024: A Speaker and Community Advocate’s Perspective

On October 29, 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to attend and actively participate in AWS Cloud Day Malaysia at the iconic KLCC Convention Center. This event brought together a dynamic mix of cloud enthusiasts, developers, architects, and industry leaders, highlighting the strength of Malaysia’s tech ecosystem.

Speaking at the Developer Lounge: “AWS Serverless Design for IoT”

One of the highlights was delivering a talk in the Developer Lounge on “AWS Serverless Design for IoT.” As a passionate advocate for IOT, Networking, and serverless architectures, I was thrilled to share my insights on how AWS’s serverless offerings can revolutionize IoT solutions.

During the session, I covered:

  • The fundamentals of AWS IOT Thing, How to connect with AWS IOT Core, AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon DynamoDB, and especially about MQTT Protocol.
  • Practical design patterns for IoT applications, showcasing how serverless architecture can enhance scalability, cost-efficiency, and ease of management.
  • Real-world use cases demonstrating the seamless integration of AWS services in building end-to-end IoT solutions.
  • The session was well-received, with engaging discussions and insightful questions from the audience. It was incredibly fulfilling to see attendees leave with actionable takeaways for their IoT projects.

AWS User Group Malaysia Booth

Representing AWS User Group Malaysia

As one of the organizers and AWS User Group Leader Malaysia, another highlight of my day was setting up a booth with all my volunteer team to promote AWS Community Day Malaysia on behalf of AWS User Group Malaysia. The booth served as a hub for community members to connect, learn about upcoming events, and explore how the AWS User Group fosters knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Engaging with attendees at the booth was a rewarding experience, as it provided a platform to share the group’s mission and inspire others to join our thriving community.

A Heartfelt Thank You

I am immensely grateful to the AWS Malaysia team for organizing such a phenomenal event and for providing platforms like the Developer Lounge and the AWS User Group booth to contribute meaningfully. It was an honor to represent AWS User Group Malaysia, share my knowledge, and learn from the experiences of others.

Looking Ahead

AWS Cloud Day Malaysia 2024 was not just an event; it was an experience that reinforced my belief in the transformative power of cloud technology and the value of community-driven initiatives. I look forward to participating in more such events and continuing to share, learn, and grow with the AWS community.
