MCP & ECS: Connect AI tools to the real world and launch apps fast & reliably
Join us for an evening of cloud innovation, hands-on learning, and networking — featuring a hands-on lab, three expert talks from AWS and copebit AG, and plenty of time for pizza and beer. We’ll explore how to build, deploy, and scale modern applications using Amazon ECS, serverless technologies, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can join just the workshop, just the talks, or — even better — both!
Agenda
Arrival for Hands-on Lab
Hands-On Lab: MCP & ECS in Action
Tobias Vonesch
Get hands-on experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Amazon ECS. Learn how to connect AI systems to external tools and deploy containerized apps quickly and reliably.
Apéro & Networking Break
Arrival for Meetup
Welcome & Introduction
Marco Kuendig
Beyond Services: Using ECS Tasks for Automated AWS Inventory
Petter Uvesten
Discover how the copebit team uses ECS Tasks for powerful one-shot and scheduled automations. Petter will showcase copebit’s DIT 2.0 (Discover Inventory Tool), built with CloudQuery, ECS, RDS, and Amazon Managed Grafana to deliver AWS usage dashboards.
Scaling AI Integrations: Advanced Architectures with the Model Context Protocol
Luca Perrozzi
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI applications connect to external data and tools. This talk explores advanced MCP architectures — local vs. remote deployments, scaling strategies, gateways, and authorization patterns — giving practical insights into building MCP-enabled AI systems.
Small Apps, Big Effect: Fast and Reliable Deployments on AWS ECS
Tobias Vonesch
Practical approaches to turning unstructured data into usable, structured information using Amazon Bedrock and Claude, with techniques and architectural patterns for extracting value from documents and text.
Pizza & Beer
