Time: 15:30 – 16:30, CEST

What do you do with all this historical data in your app?
[AWS Athena Interactive SQL / Serverless Query and S3 with FileMaker]
Speaker: Fabio Bosisio, Senior Developer, Beezwax
Date: June 2, 2023
Time: 14:00 – 14:30, CEST
Summary:
In this presentation, Fabio Bosisio presents a technique to handle historical data in a Claris FileMaker solution, utilizing a combination of AWS services and the Serverless framework. Use cases include archiving, data mining, and reporting.
The objective of this technique is to achieve optimal performance when archiving historical data on AWS S3, then leveraging a Serverless Query service (Amazon Athena’s “Interactive SQL”) to execute queries via a FileMaker app.

Elements For Building Great Solutions
[FileMaker UX & DX]
Speaker: Vince Menanno, Chief Innovation Officer, Beezwax
Date: June 2, 2023
Time: 14:30 – 15:30, CEST
Summary:
Vince Menanno leads an exploration and discussion into three things that every developer should be paying attention to:
- User Experience
- Developer Experience
- Innovation
He’ll start with some inspirations and resources for building a great User Experience (UX), then focus on ways we can improve Developer Experience (DX), asking questions like:
- Which tools and techniques can we currently use better?
- What are areas that would benefit from improvements — from Claris and other platform builders, from the Community, and from ourselves?
