Some numbers are hard to picture until you sit with them for a moment. Last week we published the Prime Day 2026 metrics, and the one that stuck with me is 2.3 quadrillion: the daily requests Amazon ElastiCache peaked at during the event. Prime Day ran back in June, so this post always lands as […]

Amazon Prime Day 2026 was exclusively for Prime members and ran June 23–26, 2026 with millions of deals across more than 35 categories. As part of our annual tradition of sharing how AWS powered Prime Day (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), I want to share the services and chart-topping metrics […]

It has been a busy stretch on the AWS Summit circuit. At the New York City Summit, I delivered a workshop called Building AI architectures with AWS Serverless, and it was a lot of fun watching builders wire up agents and serverless services to solve real problems in a single afternoon. This week I am […]

Today, we’re announcing new enhancements to Amazon GuardDuty Extended Threat Detection with the addition of two attack sequence findings for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) tasks. These new findings build on the existing Extended Threat Detection capabilities, which already combine sequences involving AWS Identity and Access […]

Amazon Prime Day 2025 achieved record-breaking sales with enhanced AI shopping features, while AWS infrastructure handled unprecedented volumes of data—including 1.7 trillion Lambda invocations per day, DynamoDB peaking at 151 million requests per second, and a 77% increase in Fargate container tasks—showcasing the massive scalability required to power the four-day shopping event.

Expanded Amazon GuardDuty Extended Threat Detection for EKS clusters uses proprietary correlation algorithms to identify sophisticated multi-stage attack sequences across Kubernetes audit logs, container runtime behaviors, and AWS API activities through a new critical severity finding type: AttackSequence:EKS/CompromisedCluster.

AWS extends GuardDuty with AI/ML capabilities to detect complex attack sequences across workloads, applications, and data, correlating multiple security signals over time for proactive cloud security.

Dive into the numbers from Amazon’s record-breaking Prime Day 2024, from AI chip deployment to the staggering transaction volumes across AWS services like Amazon DynamoDB, Aurora, CloudFront, and more.
