In 1969, Mr. Rogers went before the US Senate Commerce Committee to request funds to support the growth of Public Broadcasting. His heartwarming request is often remembered as a pivotal moment in American television history, highlighting the importance of educational programming that serves the public good. Today, that mission endures, and Mike Norton and his team at PBS continue to honor it in their own way -- by stretching every public dollar as far as it can go. In a world where resources are finite but the demand for quality, accessible content is ever-growing, these engineers work behind the scenes to maximize efficiency, leverage innovative technologies, and make every penny count... for viewers like you.

Join Simon Elisha and Dr. Werner Vogels, as they kick off a new mini-series, "The Frugal Architect," with Dan Conti, whose journey from the constrained world of embedded systems to WeTransfer's cloud architecture is a masterclass in frugal innovation. In his early career, Dan wrestled with MP3 players where 48K of RAM was a luxury. This experience cultivated a deep appreciation for efficiency that would prove crucial at WeTransfer. As CTO, Dan applied this resourceful mindset to cloud computing, where easy scaling often masked hidden waste. His team's efforts to optimize storage, improve observability, and align technology with environmental values showcased that in the cloud, frugality isn't about penny-pinching—it's about squeezing every ounce of value from your architecture -- and doing it sustainably.

Join Simon as he discusses the use of high-performance computing (HPC) in the financial services industry, particularly for risk modeling and regulatory reporting. Alex Kimber, a principal technologist at AWS, explains how financial firms leverage HPC to run millions of scenarios to measure and manage risks like credit, market, and actuarial risks. The workloads are "embarrassingly parallel," allowing for massive scalability in the cloud. Kimber also discusses AWS services and architectures that enable these HPC workloads, including the HTC Grid, a blueprint for a simple, high-throughput scheduler on AWS.
