It’s that time of year again: AWS re:Invent kicks off after the Thanksgiving break on December 2. Software developers, cloud practitioners, DevOps teams, and IT/Ops folks will descend on the Vegas strip for four days of talks, bootcamps, labs, keynotes, and (of course!) parties.
As always, New Relic will be there, and we’re bringing our love of software. We’re also bringing our knowledge and technical expertise to help you deliver more perfect software and maximize your AWS investments using New Relic One—the industry’s first observability platform.
Stop by our booth for lightning talks and expert consultations!
This year we'll be at booth #401 in the Venetian Expo Hall. Stop by for informative lightning talks featuring technical deep dives with New Relic experts and partners, as well as real-world customer stories. Key talks include:

Don’t miss our bonus booth: “The Quest for Observability with New Relic Serverless”
Thanks to our recent acquisition of serverless monitoring company, IOPipe, we have an additional booth this year. Stop by booth #2433 where you can meet serverless sages, deal with common serverless monitoring foes, and gain serverless power-ups from the New Relic Serverless team. Visit both booths and then fill out your passport for a chance to win one of two Nintendo Switches.
New Relic exhibiting at the AWS Partner Solutions Experience
This year, AWS is hosting its Partner Solutions Experience on the expo floor of the Venetian. On Wednesday, December 4, New Relic will have our top migration experts on hand delivering in-depth demos and lightning talks, and answering questions about how New Relic’s Cloud Adoption Solution is helping AWS customers on their cloud journeys.
Join us for AWS Gameday: 2019 Edition
Another must-attend event is the AWS Gameday Jam Session, hosted by New Relic. AWS GameDay is a simulation exercise that challenges your AWS skills with deploying, maintaining, and scaling applications in the face of changes and threats from both inside and outside your organizations. You'll get live AWS accounts and can expect a fully hands-on, gamified experience. Whether you're a developer, a solutions architect, or a DevOps practitioner, there's something for you at this event.
In this year's brand-new game, expect to flex your machine learning skills. You'll manage unpredictable feature releases, traffic fluctuations, and more. You earn points by keeping your applications running, the requests flowing, and your customers happy.
There are two jam sessions; both will take place Tuesday, December 3 at the MGM Studio Ballroom 114 Level 1:
Session 1: 7:45 am - 12:15 pm (HAC301-R)
Session 2: 1:45 pm - 6:15 pm (HAC301-R1)
Breakout sessions with New Relic experts
We’ve got more in the works than just one booth. We’re also hosting two breakout sessions that will be of interest to both AWS and New Relic users:
Top 5 container and Kubernetes best practices with Grace Andrews, New Relic Solutions Consultant
Containers and Kubernetes make software delivery processes easier and faster, but they also present new challenges for management and monitoring: How do you architect such modern environments in the cloud? In this talk, Grace will provide live examples and share best practices for ensuring the efficiency and quality of the next application that you migrate to the AWS cloud.
Monday, Dec 2, at 2:30 p.m. Venetian, Titian 2205 (CON307-S)
Build your next microservices application with modern AWS services with Nik Jain, New Relic Pre-sales Solutions Architect, and Javier Miguez, Director, Technology Operations for Fleet Complete, a New Relic customer
In this session, Nik will show you how easy it is to get started with a new application composed of microservices and built on AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, Amazon SQS, and Amazon DynamoDB. You’ll learn how to do basic administration tasks, such as deploying an application and inspecting the relevant Kubernetes resources, as well as some advanced troubleshooting practices.
Javier will also join Nik onstage to discuss how New Relic APM provides critical insights into application performance at Fleet Complete: how APM allows their team to troubleshoot throughput, error, and latency challenges connected with their microservices environment; and how they are also able to quickly diagnose issues within their pipeline using application traces and metric data generated by APM and by New Relic distributed tracing.
Monday, Dec 2, at 4:00 p.m. Venetian, Titian 2205 (ENT308-S)
