re:Trospective event
Thank you for coming to listen to our session today.
We’ll talk about JAWS PANKRATION 2021 held last year.
Who are we?
Why are we standing here, we are member of JAWS PANKRATION Organizer.
I’m Shun Yoshie.
I usually work as a IT Security Consultant.
I received AWS Community Hero title in 2021.
I’m Hidetoshi Matsui.
I usually work as a TechLead@StartupTechnology Inc.
I also received AWS Serverless Hero title in 2021.
And as you know, I won the APAC Community Award 2022 Insist on the Highest standard yesterday.
I would like to introduce the AWS user group in Japan.
We are JAWS-UG.
More than 60 chapters are active in the small island nation.
JAWS-UG has 4 principles.
Have a fun!
Make a difference!
Go global!
Find new heroes!
I will explain the events launched to carry out the third and fourth principles.
By the way, there is a popular proverb that is well known in the Japanese community.
アウトプットしないのは知的な便秘。
This means “No Output, No Life. Let’s enjoy OUTPUT!!”
Launching this event is also my own output.
When I became a Community Hero, my dream was to one day host a global event that invited AWS Masters from all over the world.
In 2021, the Olympics were held in Japan. So I named the event after the mixed martial arts that was played in the ancient Greek Olympics.
Yes, it's called PANKRATION.
Some people read it as Pankration(パンクレーション), others read it as Pankration(パンクラチオン), but in Japan, it's called Pankration(パンクラチオン).
Based on the principles I mentioned earlier, I set the basic concept of the event as described.
In particular, I wanted to build relationships with overseas engineers.
However, Japanese people are all shy, so they don't really look overseas.
It was necessary to attract Japanese engineers to the global event.
Through the event, I was thinking of discovering or cultivating the next generation of AWS Heroes.
We held a non-stop 24-hour online event last year as well.
In this timetable, we adopted a follow-the-sun model because speakers from all over the world will gather.
The breakdown of Call for Proposal winners was a 2:1(2 to 1) ratio of Japanese and non-Japanese speakers.
We confirmed with the selected applicants the date and time they would like to speak.
We set up a timetable to be fair and follow the sun.
Next, there was the issue of real time translation to convey the session to Japanese and non-Japanese people.We had to figure out a way to tie localization and globalization together.
As a mechanism for real time translation, we thought of using a device called Pocketalk.
I thought there would be no refusal to have this touched.
Engineers will love these gadgets!
We believed that everyone would play!
In addition, we have prepared a campaign to give a T-shirt as a present. Same T-shirt as the speakers.
Thanks to that, SNS was a great success.
When we couldn't deliver the swag because there was no direct shipping, we asked AWS people in each country to help us.
Mr. Shafraz Rahim & Mr.Jason Dunn was especially helpful. Thank you very very much.
The best way to fight through the 24 hours is to enjoy intermission.
Community produced introductory videos of the speakers, jingles, exciting music, and stretching videos.
Smooth operation is also required.
The division of roles on the day is also important. But the most important thing was having a document ready to switch speakers and speaker information in 5 minutes.
The reaction from overseas speakers was very good, and they said that you should definitely share your know-how on distribution.
So, I applied for CFP this time.
As a result of the event, we were able to have many AWS Heroes, Community Builders, Alexa Champions, AWS Top Engineers, etc.
An event with over 900 participants and 70 speakers in one day ran the Amazon IVS for 27 hours with zero downtime. Mr.Matsui will explain this in detail later.
Participation from 22 countries
speakers from 13 countries
The above is the result of the event.
I will pass the baton.
Next, I will explain the broadcasting infrastructure of JAWS PANKRATION 2021, comparing it with previous JAWS events.
Until now, JAWS-UG's broadcasting infrastructure for online events has been built completely serverless using various AWS managed services.
PANKRATION leverages past experience to deliver a better user experience and improve operational efficiency.
The result, as you can see, is a very simple and elegant architecture.
PANKRATION's broadcasting architecture is not a three-tiered architecture divided into client, data processing and data store, but an event-driven architecture in which components with separate roles work together.
The biggest advantage of this architecture is that data communication goes from a pull type to a push type.
This improves communication efficiency and contributes to performance improvement and cost reduction.
In addition, by including all the various data associated with broadcasting in the video, it is now possible to see dynamic information such as the number of viewers in real time even when the user is viewing the video in full screen.
Here is a summary of the distribution infrastructure of PANKRATION.
We built this broadcasting infrastructure entirely with community members, without outsourcing anything.
And by building it completely serverless using managed services, we have achieved scalability and high availability.
As a result, we have achieved comfortable viewing without any downtime.
And the output of this broadcasting platform has become one of the most popular contents in the community.
Finally, explain what I would like to challenge in future online events.
We are trying to template such a broadcasting infrastructure using AWS CDK.
And we will update the implementation of the application to further improve the user experience.
And JAWS DAYS 2022 - Satellites is going to be held!
We hope to show you our improved broadcasting infrastructure at this event as well!
That's all from me.
From now on, Shun will take over again.
I will speak again from here.
Keep a record of what we did well and what we didn't, and hand it over to the members who hold the next big event.
There are 16 organising committee members.
JAWS PANKRATION Organizer, please raise your hands!
We are JAWS PANKRATION Organizer.
and, there were many other collaborators.
Raise your hand if you attended JAWS PANKRATION!
Thank you very much to all participants.
The event was a success because of you.
That is all for our presentation
