Built Fast, Now Build to Scale: A founder roundtable on moving to AWS for scalable and secure technology
You shipped an AI prototype on whatever got it working, or built fast on an off-the-shelf backend and managed hosting. It got you to market. Now the next stage is asking questions your stack wasn’t built to answer: SOC 2 or ISO 27001 for an enterprise buyer, data management for a government contract, secure payments, infrastructure that holds up as usage spikes, or hosting bills that no longer make sense.
This roundtable (including lunch and drinks at Nobu) walks through how to move a live product onto AWS without stalling your roadmap. Devika’s engineering leads and the AWS Startups team will cover:
The roadblocks you’ll hit on an AI or off-the-shelf stack as you grow
Why security can't wait: what recent breaches cost the companies involved, and what they had in common
What you get from being AWS-native
What a migration involves, from database and auth through to edge functions and storage, and how long it realistically takes
What to fix before you migrate versus after, so you don’t carry the same problems across
How AWS Activate credits and the AWS partner ecosystem offset the cost of making the move
Who it’s for: founders of funded startups, or startups in the AWS Activate program, with a product in market on an AI built solution or who are hitting compliance, infrastructure or scalability limits.
Seats are limited to 30 and every registration is reviewed and approved, so the room stays small enough for real conversation.
