About us

A spot for cloud folks in Kerala.

AWS UG Trivandrum is a volunteer-run community of engineers, students, and curious builders who meet up every month to learn, build, and share whatever they're working on. We're part of the official AWS User Groups program, and we mostly just exist for the people who write the code.

Our story

A community, built by the people who show up to it.

We started AWS UG Trivandrum because Kerala's cloud scene is bigger than it looks from the outside, and the folks doing the real work deserve a room where they can actually talk shop. No vendor pitches. No keynote theatre. Just engineers walking through what they built, what broke, and what they'd do differently next time.

Every event is free. Every speaker is from somewhere nearby. Every workshop sends you home with code that runs. That's the deal.

  • 12× meetups a year
  • 0₹ cost to attend
  • 100% by people who code
