#14 [ENG] Running Scala on AWS & Developer Productivity

14th iteration of Wrocław Scala User Group is coming back in a week and will happen as usual in Wędrówki Pub. Our speakers will be coming to the Scalar conference at the end of the month, but you can hear them live without having to go all the way to Warsaw!

First talk will focus on showing a developer friendly way of deploying to AWS Lambda, while the second one will describe more general issues that limit your productivity.

Check out the details.
