Jeff is the whole reason I am a developer advocate!
I had no idea this was a job until I saw him speak in Melbourne, then I realised I was born to do this job and made it my mission to get hired by aws (which also meant moving to the other side of the planet)
Thank you @jeffbarr
The Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available.
AWS customers get the full set of Claude API features, with AWS authentication, billing, and commitment retirement.
Open source maintainers shouldn't have to absorb the cost of AI finding bugs at scale.
$12.5M from AWS, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI → tools, automation, and resources through Alpha Omega to help projects validate, triage, and fix faster.

Anthropic just launched an AWS Serverless plugin for Claude Code 👾
It knows serverless patterns!

Amazon Quick has Google Gemini beat!
HyperFRAME Research is homogeneous in our deployment of Google Workspace, we don't use Slack, Teams, or Zoom, we are 100% Google. You could say we are all-in on Google.
Stephanie Walter and I have been playing with Google Studio and the various Gemini features for weeks now, trying to do one simple thing:
"Go through all of my emails and find every email with the term "sow" or "statement of work" and then create a Google sheet with all of that info arranged into the following columns: name | email address | Company | short summary of the discussion | date of last interaction.
Google has spectacularly failed, after hours of trying, to perform what I think is a simple task. Especially since it has access to all of the data and has one of the best frontier models in Gemini. Epic fail, and even asking Gemini to help was an epic fail. Gave up...
Amazon Quick has gone from downloading, giving it permissions, to task completed in 25 minutes! And that is with me stumbling around with a new UI and not really knowing what I am doing.
The process was not one and done, and it took about 10 interactions to give permissions and review output, but 25 minutes later, the task was done.
Mind blown 🤯

Amazon #S3Files went GA on April 7th, and while there are plenty of setup guides floating around, the article below takes a more architectural lens. It digs into what layers in your stack become unnecessary when S3 buckets can be mounted as NFS file systems from EC2, Lambda, EKS, and ECS.
There is a good discussion included on the tradeoffs involved. The ~60 second commit interval, rename costs, the 50 million object threshold, VPC requirements. It maps out where S3 Files genuinely removes friction and where you still need to design carefully around its constraints. Check out this really good article from Kento Ikeda! #s3 #aws
