In this workshop you will be shown how to build functional prototypes using our proven techniques. Learn how to leverage Kiro to go beyond "vibe-coding", and transform ideas into fully functional prototypes while validating technical approaches. Discover effective spec-driven development and prompt engineering techniques combining generative AI capabilities with AWS services for rapid iteration and refinement. If participants would like to follow along please bring your own laptop.
What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Build functional prototypes using Kiro and spec-driven development. Move beyond "vibe-coding."
Why it matters
Fast prototyping separates AI-native teams from AI-curious ones.
The hard parts
Prototypes that work aren't products. The gap between "demo works" and "passes security review" is wider than ever with AI in the mix.
Playbook moves
(1) Treat prototype output as a *validated spec*, not as production code. (2) Rewrite for production explicitly; resist the temptation to "harden" the prototype. (3) Capture the spec; throw away the code.
The surprise
Spec-driven development's lasting value isn't speed — it's that the spec becomes the durable artifact. Code is increasingly disposable; specs are the IP. Adjust your IP policies and code-review priorities accordingly.
