Amplify & React: Cloud Native Serverless - React Native - August 2019

Presented by Ben Ellerby. React-Native allowed for faster cross platform application development, allowing web technologies to be used and platform complexities abstracted away. Serverless computing services, like AWS Lambda, have allowed backend development to be faster, cheaper and more scalable. Coming with Serverless architectures is a move to more cloud-native architectures, allowing developers to focus on writing code that delivers value. AWS Amplify provides a foundation for cloud-powered web and mobile apps. Coupling React-Native with Cloud-Native Serverless stacks provides increased build speed, resilience and scale. The talk will show hands on how Amplify can be used with React-Native, and discuss the advantages of a Serverless backend to a React-Native mobile application. _ About Pusher Sessions: We're bringing the meetup to you.
