Always a blast to attend #devrelcon and talk shop with the best of the best!

Now up at #devrelcon, Gene Chorba talking about building successful partner developer relations ecosystems. DevRelCon

A fantastic retrospective from #AWS Sr. Principal Engineer Marc Olson, who's been at the heart of scaling #EBS for over a decade. Marc shares hard-won lessons on driving continuous performance improvements - a must-read for cloud infrastructure nerds. allthingsdistributed.com/2024/08/contin…

Tens of trillions of calls to DynamoDB, a quadrillion calls to Elasticache, over a 1.3 trillion Lambda invocations, 145 billion inference requests to Sagemaker, and 367 billion Aurora transactions. Incredible scale at Prime Day 2024.

To mark #AWS Lambda's 10th anniversary, I'm sharing the internal PR/FAQ doc that launched it. It's a rare glimpse into the customer challenges we observed at the time and our vision for serverless computing back in the 2010s. Read it here: allthingsdistributed.com/2024/11/aws-la…

"Our continued engineering investments allow us to pass cost savings to you. DynamoDB has reduced prices for on-demand throughput by 50% and global tables by up to 67%, making it more cost-effective than ever to build, scale, and optimize applications." aws.amazon.com/blogs/database…

New blog post, with my personal take on our launch of Amazon Aurora DSQL: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12/0…

More than half of the server CPU capacity installed at AWS is now homegrown, and it won’t be long before this is true for AI accelerators. $AMZN $NVDA $AMD $INTC nextplatform.com/2024/12/03/aws…

My second blog post on Aurora DSQL, with a deep dive on how reads work: brooker.co.za/blog/2024/12/0…

Aurora DSQL's connection pools are fast 🔥🔥🔥 In Lambda, getting a new token is single-digit milliseconds and making the TCP connection to the cluster (purple line) was only 11ms in this traced example:

Introducing Claude 3.7 Sonnet: our most intelligent model to date. It's a hybrid reasoning model, producing near-instant responses or extended, step-by-step thinking. One model, two ways to think. We’re also releasing an agentic coding tool: Claude Code.

Generative AI exposes (and reinforces) an age-old divide: those who build and those who can't imagine building.

On #PiDay (Amazon S3's 19th birthday), Andrew Warfield takes us through S3's evolution from simple object store to sophisticated data platform. A fascinating look at how customer feedback shapes our services and how we maintain simplicity at massive scale. allthingsdistributed.com/2025/03/in-s3-…

Today is #PiDay. I wrote an article for Werner Vogels's blog about how important the idea of simplicity is in S3 and reflect on some examples of how simplicity has influenced S3's design over almost two decades. allthingsdistributed.com/2025/03/in-s3-…

GB200 is now live on AWS as the P6e-GB200 EC2 instance. Had a blast making this video covering unique design decisions, including our use of AWS Nitro and showcasing our in-house liquid cooling solution, the In-Row Heat Exchanger (IRHX) NVIDIA Amazon Web Services youtube.com/watch?v=u81Nap…

Introducing Kiro, an all-new agentic IDE that has a chance to transform how developers build software. Let me highlight three key innovations that make Kiro special: 1 - Kiro introduces spec-driven development, helping developers express their intent clearly through natural
