Software runs the world – not just the new software applications built in modern languages and deployed on the most optimized cloud infrastructure, but also legacy software built over years and barely understood by the teams that inherit them. These legacy applications may have snowballed into monolithic blocks or may be fragmented across siloed on-premises […]

As I sat down to write this post, my daughter called from the top of the Eiffel Tower on a trip with her high school class. While she excitedly pointed her camera toward the Parisian skyline, I was struck by how technology has transformed our concept of distance. Her world, at eighteen, is infinitely more […]

As the world of software development becomes increasingly global, the need for tools that support multiple languages has become paramount. Earlier today, Amazon Q Developer announced expanded language support. In this post, I explore the recent expansion of language support in Amazon Q Developer, a powerful platform used by developers worldwide to discuss architecture, create documentation, […]

Introduction This post demonstrates how to leverage AWS CloudFormation Lambda Hooks to enforce compliance rules at provisioning time, enabling you to evaluate and validate Lambda function configurations against custom policies before deployment. Often these policies impact the way a software should be built, restricting language versions and runtimes. A great example is applying those policies […]

Increasing developer productivity has been a persistent challenge for senior leaders over the past decades. With the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), a new wave of innovation is transforming how software teams work. Generative AI tools like Amazon Q Developer are emerging as game-changers, supporting developers across the entire software development lifecycle. But how […]

Today we’re announcing the general availability (GA) of the new Amazon Cognito Identity Pool Level 2 (L2) construct in the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). This construct simplifies the creation and management of identity pools, permissions, and provider integrations by providing intent-based APIs that help users securely manage their authenticated and unauthenticated (guest) users […]

The AWS Developer Day 2025 showcased how generative AI developer tools from AWS are transforming software development practices, enabling faster building and scaling of cloud software through product launches, leadership insights, and practical demonstrations.

On May 30th, 2025, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) will no longer support Node.js 14.x and 16.x, which reached end of life on 4/30/2023 (14.x) and 9/11/2023 (16.x).
