Tonight at AWS User Group Bergstrasse 🎤 Lars Kinder on "Build Once, Deploy Many": package an artifact once, promote it across environments, roll back safely. Perfect timing after my week of pipeline confessions. 📅 19:00 CEST 👉 lckhd.eu/3Fs2Bs

Johannes "Lockhead" Koch @lockhead.dev · 12h

The honest bit from my refresher video: My promotion workflow rebuilds artifacts from the tag instead of packaging once and promoting that exact build. It works. It's also not really promotion. Fixing it is on the list. 👉 lckhd.eu/uTlHas #CICD #GitHubActions

Same builder, opposite structure One project runs two separate pipelines. This one, Pegasus Galaxy, my browser + mobile game, runs one multi-stage GitHub Actions pipeline: parallel tests, three frontends, promotion across environments. 👉 lckhd.eu/q3XiMq #CICD #GitHubActions

One bit from my CI/CD video worth calling out: My production deploy has a manual migration guard. Everything else is automated, but anything touching data waits for a human. Not elegant. Has saved me more than once. 👉 lckhd.eu/UYFwlp #CICD #DevOps

No reference architecture, just the actual CI/CD running a side project I built for my handball group CDK backend + Flutter web, one monorepo, two separate pipelines, and why backend and frontend don't release together. 👉 lckhd.eu/NcuEHQ #CICD #AWSCDK

The bit of KiroCrew I keep thinking about: persistent memory across sessions Most of my agent time goes on re-explaining context I gave yesterday. An orchestrator that just remembers changes the economics. 👉 lckhd.eu/TyuvZP #Kiro #AgenticAI

Your agents run everywhere now: local, cloud, CLI, Slack. So who's orchestrating them? I dug into KiroCrew, an open-source project out of AWS that manages agent sessions, memory and scheduling on your own machine. 👉 lckhd.eu/kaB9uc #Kiro #OpenSource

Yesterday: the Kiro IDE on-ramp. Today: where it goes next 👇 I sat down with Darko to dig into Kiro Crew — an open-source agentic dev workspace that started inside AWS, used by tens of thousands internally. Multi-session, orchestration, scheduled tasks, memory. 👉 lckhd.eu/l5mnrF #Kiro

Still buzzing from AWS Community Day DACH in Berlin last week 🦸 7am setup, two sessions moderated, a packed Community Builder Meetup, a day with fellow Heroes. Brain full, notebook fuller 📓 It also reminded me why I started this channel: CI/CD. So I stopped talking about it and filmed it — live

Still thinking about it: the best tech events aren't about the tech. They're about the people who show up, share honestly, and lift each other up. Thank you to everyone who made this one special 🙏 @aws-community.de #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #AWSCommunity

A little recap from AWS Community Day DACH in Berlin 🧵 (1/5) @aws-community.de #BuildInPublic (2/5) The 7am setup team. Nobody sees it, but settings things with the team is one of my favourite parts. Community is a verb. (3/5) Fantastic sessions including two Keynote Hall sessions on trusting

Funny how a day with peers reframes everything. Walked in with 3 problems, already have 3 new angles to try. This is why community > going it alone. Every time. ❤️ @aws-community.de #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #AWSHeroes

The best thing about Heroes day isn't the talks or presentations...it's the discussions. The unfiltered "here's what actually broke for us" conversations you never get from a stage 🔥 @aws-community.de #BuildInPublic #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #AWSHeroes

Biggest learnings from Christian Bonzelet's "Every Builder Ships" 🔥 The unglamorous part nobody demos — and exactly the part that matters. Whole team should watch this one. hire someone? create an agent. teach someone? create a skill. #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #Kiro #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic

Johannes "Lockhead" Koch @lockhead.dev · 15/09/2026

That was so good. Biggest takeaway from Anton's session: Agrnts read files without context. with that „examples“ can become standards if u don’t define policies or contracts. #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #Terraform #IaC #AIagents
