What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Strategic AWS partnerships. Enterprise AI learning culture. Serverless-first modernisation delivering cost savings + emissions reductions at massive sports-betting peak load.
Why it matters
Sports betting peaks are extreme; serverless is the right primitive. Pattern generalises to other peak-driven workloads.
The hard parts
Cultural change to AI-learning. Certification at scale across thousands of staff.
Playbook moves
(1) Make certification a *career signal*, not a checkbox. (2) Reward learning publicly. (3) Build certification into hiring and promotion criteria.
The surprise
Serverless's environmental impact is finally measurable. Cost reductions correlate strongly with emissions reductions; ESG reporting and cost optimisation now align. This is a CFO+sustainability convergence point that didn't exist 3 years ago.
