Transcript

Jeremy: Hi everyone, I'm Jeremy Daly, and this is Serverless Chats. Today we have an absolutely amazing episode for you. re:Invent 2020 is finally done. We're in February of 2021 and unless they decide to maybe stick another week of videos in, re:Invent 2020 is finally done. So, I figured why not do an episode where we can get the best input and the best insights from some of the most amazing people in serverless.

So, today, I have eight AWS heroes with me, and we're going to talk about all the amazing things that happened at re:Invent 2020. So, I'm just going to go quickly around the horn here and introduce everybody. So, first up, is AWS Serverless Hero, Independent Consultant, Developer Advocate at Lumigo, host of the "Real World Serverless Podcast," The Burning Monk himself, Mr. Yan Cui.

Yan: Hey guys.

Jeremy: All right, next we have an AWS Community Hero, he's a Technical Evangelist at Atlassian, and the guy who once helped me stalk Werner Vogels, just so we could get a photo with him, Mr. Serhat Can.

Serhat: Hey folks, happy to be here.

Jeremy: And, next, is another AWS Serverless Hero, he's the CTO of Neosperience, co-founder and co-organizer of just about every Serverless community event in Italy, the Italian Stallion of serverless, Mr. Luca Bianchi.

Luca: Hello.

Jeremy: All right, next, we are joined by yet another AWS Serverless Hero, he's also the CTO at Epsagon, and way too smart for his own good, the man they call Mr. Obervability, Ran Ribenzaft.

Ran: Hey, everyone.

Jeremy: All right, moving on, we have another AWS Serverless hero, he's the VP of Engineering at Theodo, editor of "Serverless Transformation," and an excellent Nashville, Tennessee, drinking buddy, Ben Ellerby.

Ben: Hey Jeremy, thanks for having me.
