This session presents practical patterns for architecting secure, AI-ready frontends on AWS with Cognito-powered scalable auth. Topics include OIDC (auth code + PKCE), token/session hygiene, least-privilege IAM, and safely brokering AI endpoints via API Gateway/Lambda with rate limits, redaction, and cost guardrails. Attendees leave with a reference architecture, a hardening checklist, and a repeatable test strategy using Cypress Cloud.

What happens when you treat AI like a coding partner? In this talk, I’ll share how I used AI tools to build the London Improv Calendar - a fully serverless application on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and more). This isn’t theory; it’s a practical, in-the-trenches account of working with AI as a solo engineer. We’ll cover what worked well, what fell flat, and where AI truly accelerated development. If you’re curious about pairing AI with serverless, or just want some real-world lessons you can apply to your own projects, this session is for you.
