For years, the cloud has been a hot topic among companies, with success stories coming from all directions. However, when we first decided to adopt this solution, we weren’t fully aware of the challenges it involves. Over time, we’ve become increasingly locked into a path where costs keep rising. In this presentation, I will answer two key questions: why—and when—it makes sense to move away from the cloud.

Zero-Compromise Serverless Java: No Ops, Low Costs
Serverless Java 21+ reduces operational complexity and costs. Through live coding, you’ll learn how to build secure, easy-to-maintain NoOps applications and use Java CDK v2 for Infrastructure as Code—eliminating the need for YAML or JSON. You’ll also explore practical techniques for creating cost-efficient, production-ready serverless applications (NoOps, partially NoCode) with built-in security mechanisms and isolation.
A developer, architect, consultant, trainer (https://airhacks.live), podcaster (https://airhacks.fm), AWS Hero and Java Champion, has been using Java since JDK 1.0 and JavaScript since LiveScript, and still enjoys writing code.Adam regularly organises online live workshops on Java, web technologies, cloud computing, AI and architectures at https://airhacks.live, as well as a monthly Q&A live streaming show at https://airhacks.tv.
