Dublin

I've spent some days in Dublin for the company I'm working for.

On my way to work: the formal garden at the Irish Museum of Modern Art

Good selection of decent burgers: Bobo's on Dame Street

Waiting for the bus opposite to the Bank of Ireland at College Green

I also used the opportunity to the join a meetup of the AWS Ireland Usergroup hosted by eircom. About 30 people attended and listened to the following talks:

• A nice recap of this year's AWS re:Invent by Grace Mollison.
• A live demo showing a message processing system based on SQS, DynamoDB and Elastic Beanstalk also by Grace Mollison.
• A presentation about NetApps's idea of private storage in the cloud by Tim Waldron.
• Morgan Lynch showed the architecture behind Senddr.

eircom provided free drinks and a buffet for the AWS Ireland Usergroup meetup
