Cagatay Gurturk is a software engineer, internet enterpreneur, and cloud enthusiast.

After finishing his studies at the Istanbul Technical University, he continued his education to get a master's degree in computer engineering at Bahcesehir University. In 2004, in his freshman year at the college, he co-founded Instela, which quickly became one of the most well-known internet platforms in Turkey, with millions of visitors per month. Being the technical co-founder of Instela, he gained experience of running web platforms at scale and was also introduced to the world of cloud computing.

After long years as an internet enterpreneur in Istanbul and Barcelona, he continued his career in different companies, where he delivered software running on cloud infrastructures, especially on AWS. He authored some open source projects related to AWS as well.

He currently works at eBay as a software development manager, and he is also a certified AWS Solutions Architect.

Martin Lindenburg is a software engineer born in 1982. He grew up in a rural region, about 100 km north of Berlin. He developed his interest in computers and technology at a young age with his brother's Commodore64. Later, he invested all his pocket money to afford his first own 386 computer, where he developed his first programs in Basic and Turbo Pascal to visualize and solve his math homework. This interest evolved, and, a few years later, he finally ended up studying computer engineering in Berlin.

He is now working for more than ten years as a software engineer, and he has worked for companies in the telecommunication group, Deutsche Telekom AG, the financial portal, Wallstreet-Online AG, and the advertisement and affiliate network, ADCELL. He collected experiences from the creation of standalone applications over scalable dynamic webpages with hundreds of users logging in up to millions of daily page views and tracking events.

Currently, he works as a senior software engineer at Home24 and is essentially involved in the integration of serverless architectures and microservices with AWS.

At the same time, he is actively contributing to the open source framework serverless.com and creating open source serverless-plugins.
