Code reviews are one of the most valuable rituals in software development. They help ensure quality, maintain consistency, and foster growth as engineers. But they’re also one of the most time consuming steps in the software development lifecycle. A common pattern I’ve seen is a developer opening a pull request (PR), receiving automated or peer […]

Modern software development teams face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality code faster, while managing growing system complexity. Developers often spend significant time on necessary, but undifferentiated work, or “toil”. Toil is often manual, repetitive, and of limited enduring value, making it a strong candidate for automation or delegation to generative AI tools. The re:Invent 2024 […]

When I first started working with Amazon Q Developer, I was impressed by its capabilities, but I quickly found myself in a familiar pattern. Development teams using AI assistants face a common challenge: repeatedly explaining coding standards, workflow preferences, and established patterns in every conversation. This repetitive setup reduces productivity and creates inconsistent AI guidance […]

Today, we’re officially announcing the AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP Server. This MCP server transforms AWS infrastructure management by allowing developers to create, read, update, delete, and list resources using natural language. As part of the awslabs/mcp project, this new and innovative tool serves as a bridge between natural language commands and AWS infrastructure […]

This new feature takes the capabilities I’ve come to rely on to a whole new level, allowing me to seamlessly manage different development […]

Business and technology leaders are constantly striving to improve productivity, increase velocity, foster experimentation, reduce time-to-market (TTM), and enhance the developer experience. These North Star goals drive innovation in software development practices. This innovation is increasingly being powered by artificial intelligence. Particularly, generative AI powered tools such as Amazon Q Developer and Kiro have already […]

Introduction Developers working with AWS find AWS Elastic Beanstalk to be an invaluable service that makes it straightforward to deploy and run web applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. You simply upload your application code, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and monitoring, which allows you to […]

Infrastructure alerts pose a challenge for DevOps teams, particularly when they occur outside of regular business hours. The complexity isn’t merely in receiving notifications, it lies in rapidly assessing their severity and determining the root cause. This challenge is compounded when upstream service disruptions cascade into multiple downstream alerts, creating a confusion of notifications that […]
