Build, Break and Deploy with Kiro - Kiro Nights

Generative AI coding tools can get you from idea to prototype in minutes. Getting from prototype to something reliable and deployed is where the real engineering begins.
In this hands-on session, we’ll explore Kiro, the AI-powered IDE from AWS, and see how it changes the way developers and cloud engineers build software. We’ll build something real, break it on purpose, fix it with an AI agent, and deploy it to AWS.
