Last week, heroes from around the globe converged on the International AWS Heroes Summit to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the esteemed AWS Heroes program with a week of fun and camaraderie. This program recognizes a select group of AWS experts globally who consistently surpass expectations by sharing their knowledge and positively impacting developer communities.
, CEO of AWS and a long-time supporter of developer communities, made a particular look for a Q&A session with the Heroes to take heed to their suggestions and reply to their questions.
Here’s a remarkable image captured at the AWS Heroes Summit:
As Matt discussed during his talk on “The developer neighbourhood has been at the core of all the work we’ve done since the inception of AWS”, thanks to our incredible Heroes for their tireless efforts. Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable journey.
Last week, several new product releases piqued my interest.
The latest updates for the Corretto distribution of OpenJDK are now available. This comprises safety and significant updates for the Long-Term Supported (LTS) and Feature Release (FR) versions.
The newly released AWS ODBC Driver for MySQL enables faster instance switchover and failover, as well as authentication support for both IAM users and roles, thereby providing an even more environmentally friendly and secure option for connecting to MySQL and Amazon Aurora MySQL-compatible edition databases.
Amazon SageMaker Canvas now enables seamless deployment of fine-tuned Basis Fashion models (FMs) to SageMaker real-time inference endpoints, streamlining integration of generative AI capabilities beyond the SageMaker Canvas environment.
Lambda SnapStart for Java capabilities on ARM64 architecture significantly accelerates startup performance by up to 10x, while also boosting value efficiency by as much as 34%, allowing developers to build highly responsive and scalable Java functions that run seamlessly on AWS Lambda?
Amazon QuickSight has enhanced its control functionality, enabling seamless collaboration between users by allowing them to interact with controls in real-time, eliminating the need to wait for all dependent controls to reload. This enhancement significantly accelerates page loading times for users.
Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now offers a cutting-edge caching feature for indexing that automatically retrieves and manages data, leading to expedited data retrieval, efficient storage utilisation, and cost savings.
Amazon Redshift Serverless now offers the option to start with a decreased information warehouse base capability of 8 Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) in the Europe (London) region, providing more flexibility and cost-effective options for small to large-scale workloads.
AWS Lambda now supports seamless integration with Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ in five key areas, empowering developers to build scalable, serverless functions that can be triggered by messages published to Amazon MQ message brokers.
