An incredible amount of information.

Michael's content was thorough, yet concise. I was hoping to gather some principles that I could apply outside of the AWS ecosystem but didn't get much of that. Overall an excellent presentation.

This talk gave me ideas for improving the performance of my application. Thanks!

This was a great talk with tons of actionable materials for people to take away.


I'd highly recommend other conferences pick this one up.

The message was perfect to end the conference, and I would love to see PJ make it out to more PHP conferences to spread such an awesome message.

The music was a little loud at various points in the conference and made it tough to hear, perhaps maybe just turning it down a bit would help.

I very much applaud the speaker for stepping up and presenting at the last minute. The talk itself needs a few more iterations for polish and refinement. There is a good seed here that needs time to grow. A critical mentor that can positively nitpick could turn it into a really good presentation.

Great talk. I've been to a few now in which a developer has given talks using the products from their company as example. I find it a very practical way for a subject matter expert to expain the concept using something they are an expert at.

The talk worked out very well for explaining webhooks and potential gotchas (the first is nice, but the second is the value).

It was a great talk that connected high level communication concepts with practical implementation. There's a bunch to learn about the topic itself, and how to give a keynote that provides value.

Hi Dave! Well, you brought the fun in your presentation while providing a useful introduction to MySQL 8.0. Glad I had the chance to meet you earlier in the vendor area, which only piqued my interest further in attending the talk. Making specific calls to the database through PHP is something I have limited experience with. Frankly, the SQL syntax is confusing and can be frustrating to work with at times. The version 8.0 update appears to add a lot more versatility and ease of use to interaction with MySQL.

Please upload & post a link to your slides! Thanks.
