This is one of the BIGGEST changes to AWS networking in years! You can now share single resources over PrivateLink AND access these resources with Step Functions and EventBridge. Really powerful. buff.ly/3Bb5FPn

Goodbye AWS Snow Mobile, hello AWS Data Transfer Terminal! Amazon introduces in-datacenter physical locations to upload large volumes of data to the cloud. Upload speeds up to 400 Gbps, pricing per hour. buff.ly/3AUTV3C

I think the native integration between CloudWatch and OpenSearch is really cool. I remember setting this up with Firehose & Lambda, which had a lot of moving parts. I do worry about cost though - this will not be cheap, as it uses OS Serverless in the bg. buff.ly/3OANiX7

This year’s Go Build Award goes to Rossana Suarez (RoxsRoss)! An outstanding hero dedicated to championing women in tech. Last year, she hosted more than 100 tech sessions, and grew their community from 50 to 10,000 developers. Congratulations! Now, go build! #AWS

Native S3 support for Apache Iceberg tables? This is big (data)! buff.ly/49iWzge

IT'S HERE! Amazon Aurora Distributed SQL (DSQL). It's DynamoDB and Postgres merged into a truly serverless relational database. This is THE announcement of Re:Invent 2024. Everything else is irrelevant. buff.ly/4igOi0m

This is somehow not an understatement. So stoked to see this launch! A brand new purpose-built database that truly delivers on what it promises: simple unlimited scalability of NoSQL, global strong consistency (Atomic Clocks > CAP Theorem), but with PostgreSQL compatibility.🤯

For a deep dive on Amazon Aurora DSQL go to Marc Brooker sessions DAT424 and DAT427. In my keynote on Thursday, I'll dive under the hood to look at its architecture and the technology that makes global strong consistency possible.

Lots of Sagemaker and Bedrock news on Re:Invent Wednesday! This one is my favorite: Bedrock Intelligent Prompt Routing automatically switches between a small and a large model (e.g. Haiku / Sonnet) based on the question! buff.ly/3VjxjAM

I think the new S3 Tables (managed Apache Iceberg) are going to be a big deal for datalakes in the coming years. Today AWS released a very interesting article how they manage completely hands-off compaction in S3. Worth reading! buff.ly/3CWKHEl

Ah, it's one of those days.. <CLICK>

This is a great read about AWS' post-quantum cryptography migration plan. There will be a moment, likely in the not-too-far future, where we will have an exponential growth in compute power. It's good to protect our encryption before that happens. buff.ly/4fUxVoy

The release pattern of Re:Invent 2024 news was not what I expected. There have been 112 releases so far, 56 of which on Sunday (!), 2 on Monday Night Live, 33 around Matt's keynote, 17 around Swami's, 6 around the partner keynote, and 0 at Werner's.

With Re:Invent behind us, it's time to close up shop here. Thank you for all the friends, connections, and stories we made 🫶 If you're interested, feel free to follow me on the other place.
