But what does this look like in practice? In this session, you will hear from AWS and cinch, one of the fastest growing start-ups in the UK. You will learn how cinch built an entirely new event-driven e-commerce platform in just 6 months. We will explore cinch’s architecture and AWS services used, the practices that helped cinch succeed, and the considerations for anyone looking to increase team agility and feature release velocity.
