Waldo Grunenwald, an AWS partner, looks forward to re:Invent every year, enjoying the opportunity to meet face-to-face and share the latest in monitoring and security. This year's event will have a virtual format, spanning three weeks instead of one week, with sessions rebroadcasted for multiple time zones. The event features engaging activities such as Datadog demos, 1:1 sessions with technical solutions team members, a daily raffle for an Xbox Series X, and a swag passport program. Notable sessions include "Building the next generation of residential robots," "Paving the way toward automated driving with BMW Group," "Deep dive into AWS Lambda security: Function isolation," and "Testing resiliency using chaos engineering." Datadog's take on these topics includes discussions on automata, autonomous driving data lakes, serverless first architectures, continuously tested resilience, and sustainability concerns. The event also features a session by Adrian Cockcroft highlighting emerging architecture trends and topics for 2021.
