New – Local Mocking and Testing with the Amplify CLI
The open source Amplify Framework provides a set of libraries, user interface (UI) components, and a command line interface (CLI) that make it easier to add sophisticated cloud features to your web or mobile apps by provisioning backend resources using AWS CloudFormation. A comment I often get when talking with our customers, is that when you are […]
Amplify Framework Update – Quickly Add Machine Learning Capabilities to Your Web and Mobile Apps
At AWS, we want to put machine learning in the hands of every developer. For example, we have pre-trained AI services for areas such as computer vision and language that you can use without any expertise in machine learning. Today we are making another step in that direction with the addition of a new Predictions category to the […]
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) – TypeScript and Python are Now Generally Available
Managing your Infrastructure as Code provides great benefits and is often a stepping stone for a successful application of DevOps practices. In this way, instead of relying on manually performed steps, both administrators and developers can automate provisioning of compute, storage, network, and application services required by their applications using configuration files. For example, defining your Infrastructure as […]
Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless – Now Generally Available
The database is usually the most critical part of a software architecture and managing databases, especially relational ones, has never been easy.

New for AWS Lambda – Use Any Programming Language and Share Common Components
I remember the excitement when AWS Lambda was announced in 2014! Four years on, customers are using Lambda functions for many different use cases. For example, iRobot is using AWS Lambda to provide compute services for their Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, Fannie Mae to run Monte Carlo simulations for millions of mortgages, Bustle to serve billions of requests for their digital content. Today, […]
New – AWS Toolkits for PyCharm, IntelliJ (Preview), and Visual Studio Code (Preview)
Software developers have their own preferred tools. Some use powerful editors, others Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that are tailored for specific languages and platforms. In 2014 I created my first AWS Lambda function using the editor in the Lambda console. Now, you can choose from a rich set of tools to build and deploy serverless applications. […]
