Hi Architects,
Welcome to the next 2026 AWS Sydney Well-Architected User Group Meetup!
Each month we cover off AWS best-practices across all pillars and give away drones - lots of drones 🥳
Please also note that AWS Security now requests a company name and company email where it is available. If you are a student, please list your institution and your student email address at that institution 👍
We'll be announcing more speakers on [https://well-architected.me](https://well-architected.me/) and previewing presentations during the coming weeks - our speakers and details this month include:
• Wu Shilin, Principal Solution Architect — VeloDB / Apache Doris
Cost-Efficient Real-Time Analytics on AWS: Storage-Compute Separation with Apache Doris
Real-time analytics have a reputation for being expensive — you pay for fast storage you
barely use, and for compute that sits idle overnight. This session walks through VeloDB
/ Apache Doris's storage-compute separation architecture on AWS, showing how to
push warm data down to S3 while keeping sub-second query latency on the data that
matters. We'll round off with a live demo querying billions of rows against S3-backed storage, soattendees can see the latency-vs-cost trade-off in action rather than on a slide.
• Mystery Speaker
Generative AI Cost Optimisation
Cost Optimisation is essential but with all the anecdotal stories of massive token budget blowouts, staying on top of Generative AI best-practices is essential to avoiding these scenarios.
This month's menu will include:
• Pizzas
• Beer: Nastro Azzurro
• Wine: Big and red 🤤
So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm SHARP start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and friendly networking after our talks:-)
