- **Event Description**: How building on the Edge can help you accelerate development, simplify infrastructure, improve security and efficiency, and lower cost.About this EventOrganisations are moving beyond digital products and services, prioritising the adoption of AI and the shift towards agentic systems.As a result, the objectives of technology teams are increasingly becoming the strategic priorities of executive leaders:Accelerate development and deploymentSimplify infrastructureImprove securityDrive productivityReduce scaling barriers and costs"The cloud" made all of these promises, but the outcomes have contributed to more of the same challenges: greater complexity, cost, risks and rigidity.As part of Leeds Digital Festival, we're bringing together two different perspectives on solving this. Jamie Lord will share how CDS has approached these objectives building on Cloudflare's Developer Platform, and we'll also hear a genuine AWS perspective on solving the same problems.This isn't a pitch for either platform. It's an open, practical discussion between tech leaders about where each approach has genuinely added value, and where the trade-offs are.Jamie Lord is a global authority on the Cloudflare Developer Platform and author of Architecting on Cloudflare, a resource praised by Cloudflare's top brass and customers alike.He'll explore why building on Cloudflare's edge has worked well for CDS: fewer vendors stitched together, infrastructure and security handled at the same layer, and deployment measured in minutes rather than change-request cycles. We'll also bring the AWS perspective, drawing on real experience of building and scaling on that platform.Submit your existing architecture, development, or infrastructure challenges before the event, and we'll work through them live, giving our honest views and suggestions from both sides of the table.We’ll also look into our agentic present and fast approaching future, sharing how customers are using the platform to safely accelerate progress.Stay on afterwards for networking and an optional Developer Lab, where Jamie showcases the platform hands-on for anyone who wants to go deeper.Speakers:Jamie Lord, Solution Architect at CDS (author, Architecting on Cloudflare) https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ec298ab0-a80e-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1200-h359-dc486848-gmir.png Agenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMRegistration and networking🕑: 06:30 PM - 06:45 PMThe common barriers, from youInfo: Our speakers address the architecture, build and development challenges submitted by attendees beforehand.🕑: 06:45 PM - 07:00 PMBuilding on Cloudflare's Developer PlatformHost: Jamie LordInfo: Why building on the Developer Platform, at the edge, is better: fewer vendors stitched together, infrastructure and security handled at the same layer, and deployment measured in minutes rather than change request cycles.🕑: 07:00 PM - 07:30 PMWhat we've actually built: Real world examplesInfo: A panel of experts discuss real things they've built on the platform, at the edge, its benefits and why it has worked better. 🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:00 PMNetworking and Developer LabInfo: Networking and drinks with your peers.
