By Joseph Brady, Marketing Manager and AWS Alliance Lead for Treehouse Software
Treehouse Software sponsored the June AWS User Group Meetup at AlphaLab in Pittsburgh. AlphaLab is a nationally ranked software accelerator in Pittsburgh. They help early-stage tech companies quickly figure out the best way to build and grow in a program with funding, early-stage technology companies with an extensive mentor network, educational sessions with industry leaders, and a rich entrepreneurial work environment within a nationally ranked accelerator program.
Food, drinks, and technical presentation were courtesy of Treehouse Software. The AlphaLab space was very nice and spacious, with a full kitchen and a large bar for everybody to hang out and talk while enjoying a great spread of food and drinks. This was an ideal setting for ice-breaking and socializing with attendees.
As is usual for the AWS User Group, the attendees ranged from students to consultants and DBAs, all wanting to learn about what can be done on the AWS Cloud.
After some food, drinks, and a bit of socializing, Jim Jen, Executive Director of AlphaLab started things off with a short AlphaLab welcome and introduction.
Next, Andy Jones, Senior Technical Representative for Treehouse Software presented “tcVISION Technical Overview and AWS Cloud Environment Replication Demonstration”. Andy told a little about Treehouse, our AWS partnership, and an overview of tcVISION with a mention of the tcVISION Amazon Machine Image (AMI) development work that is going on right now with support from a top AWS Solutions Architect. At the end of Andy’s presentation, interest was sufficient for him to give a tcVISION live demo, where he showed everybody tcVISION replicating data from the Treehouse mainframe to AWS Aurora in the Cloud.

We ended the evening with a little more eating, drinking, and socializing, and a mention that Treehouse Software will be exhibiting the tcVISION/AWS Solution at AWS re:Invent in November.
Thanks to everyone who attended, helped, and participated!
