What builders took away

What they left with.

Our talk

From reef to dashboard

How Project OceanOasis gets species detections from a remote reef into live dashboards, minutes later, on AWS.

The data

A medallion lake on S3

Bronze, Silver and Gold layers with AWS Glue and Amazon Athena: model the data for the question, not the sensor.

The guardrails

Isolation you can audit

One dashboard for every organisation, with Amazon QuickSight row-level security doing the filtering.

After the talks

Time with the community

Pizza and conversations with Brisbane’s AWS builders.

  1. 01

    Enrich at ingestion, and every layer downstream stays simple.

  2. 02

    Model the data for the question, not for the sensor.

  3. 03

    Access you can audit with a SELECT beats rules buried in code.

  4. 04

    Born on AWS, scale is a plug-in, not a re-platform.

Why we were there

Real projects, real lessons.

The AWS Brisbane Well-Architected User Group is a monthly meetup where builders share AWS solutions and challenges from real-world projects. Assembly is one of its sponsors.

In September, Camilo shared how we built the data backbone for Project OceanOasis (PO2), AI-native marine monitoring on AWS, with PO2’s go-ahead.
