I just wrapped my first presentation in over a year (hard to believe it’s been that long). Today I spoke at the Web Unleashed 2026 conference in Toronto. My talk was “Your Agent Just Deleted Prod (And Other AWS Serverless Horror Stories).”
The gist of the talk is that most of these “horror stories” (which, to be honest, only a couple were really AWS related) were about setting poor boundaries for your agent. Basically, we’ve been conditioned by AI mandates or adoption pushes to give our agents too much access without enough safeguards and how containers (and, yeah, tools like LocalStack) can give you those safeguards by default.
Unfortunately the talk wasn’t recorded, but I do plan to work on a follow up blog post and (maybe) video using it. However, if you were there or even if you were not, I’m happy to share my slide deck, which has a lot of useful resources and links.
