Elixirr Digital

Elixirr Academy wrapped up last Friday! 🎓

20 participants across Croatia and South Africa completed six weeks of hands-on learning. They’ve built skills in Python, Azure, SQL, generative AI and plenty more, with practical work at the heart of it.

Huge congratulations to everyone involved!

Before the holiday rush hits at full speed, our Croatia teams took a breather for some well-earned fun. From a competitive bowling night to adrenaline-filled rafting, each team picked their own way to switch off and reset.

A good reminder that stepping back helps us show up stronger. 💪

If you’re testing Lambdas by deploying to AWS every time…you’re paying for your own feedback loop.

Moto lets you mock AWS services locally (S3, DynamoDB, etc.), so you can test Lambda behaviour without deploying anything.

This means:
- Quicker testing
- No AWS spend while you debug
- Safer iteration
- Easier CI pipelines
