Exploring AWS Kiro

Our next AWS User Group Meetup in Heilbronn 2026 will take place on July 23rd - again with interesting talks and pizza 🍕. Join this meetup if you work with AWS or are just interested in the topic - either way, you will learn a lot and connect with the community.

🎤 Exploring AWS Kiro
AWS Kiro, AWS’s AI-powered IDE for modern software development, has now been around for a year—making it the perfect time to take a closer look at what it brings to developers and teams. In this meetup, we'll explore Kiro’s capabilities, workflows and integrations.
Agenda:

• Intro and overview (Scott)
• Spec-driven development and hooks (Jana)
• Agentic coding with GitHub integration (Julian)

Join us for an evening of hands-on insights, discussions, and lessons learned from one year of AWS Kiro! 🎉
