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…

It’s impressive how helpful #AmazonQ Developer is with its Amazon #CloudWatch integration. It gathers evidence, forms hypothesis, and together you collaborate on pinpointing the root cause. Sometimes I find that it figures it out without my help though!

Come learn about kiro.dev, a new AI IDE that helps you vibecode, but at production-scale code, way beyond prototypes. The stream is over but the recording is here: youtube.com/watch?v=sXbIw1… #Kiro @kirodotdev #AI #IDE #KiroDotDev

Before software engineers even begin writing code, they have to set the stage of the entire development process. This process requires engineers to make complex tradeoffs between requirements, system design, and implementations details. Current IDEs that rely on AI features, like…

Anew way to vibecode from idea, to spec, code, docs, tests, and everything else for going beyond a prototype. I've been using it for the last couple months and it has made it so that I can check things off the parts of my backlog that I never would have been able to get to!

Great article by Greg Nudelman on Agentic UX: uxforai.com/p/secrets-of-a… . It covers Amazon Q Developer's new operational investigations in Amazon CloudWatch, and talks about how humans and agents collaborate toward finding the root case. #AI #Observability #Operations #UX

New Amazon Builders' Library article: Resilience lessons from the lunch rush. Fantastic overview of techniques to prevent overload in distributed systems, and highly entertaining real-world stories that draw parallels. aws.amazon.com/builders-libra…

Troubleshoot faster whether you’re alone, with teammates, or with the new AI ops assistant in Amazon Q Developer - COP322 “Don’t get stuck: How connected telemetry keeps you moving forward”. The recording is now available: youtu.be/ad42UTjP7ds #AWSreInvent #Observability

When I built demos for my #observability #awsreinvent talk, I was blown away at how quickly Amazon Q Developer was able to root cause the failures I was injecting. Come to COP322 on Thursday 3pm, and try the new troubleshooting capability in #CloudWatch: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/inve…

If you have questions about #Observability while you’re at #aws #reInvent, unfortunately the bunnies will not be there to answer them. I will be though!

You know those shows where robots join together into a more powerful form? Well that's like #OpsITron! Kick off #aws #reInvent right on Monday with COP202: Building the future of cloud operations at scale. We'll cover new AWS Cloud Ops features that join together like #OpsITron

Come nerd out with me about #Observability at #aws #reInvent! I'll demo lots of new features, and will also share all my secrets about how to troubleshoot and fix issues as quickly as possible.

💛 𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗧𝗶𝗽 🏗️ Automated Rollbacks with CloudFormation 🧑‍🚒 With CloudFormation, you can automatically rollback based on alarms. This way, you can restore a working application state 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 investigating the issue. Important: the right dimensionality!

Rewatching The Matrix. Love that movie. Didn’t love the weird “they’re using us for energy” idea because it would take so much more to power us. But what if they were using our brains as organic GPUs? Pacify our consciousness so they can train LLMs or whatever.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing people during my time at @amazon. One thing most of them have in common is that they excel at several of our company’s Leadership Principles—Invent and Simplify, Dive Deep, Customer Obsession, and Ownership, to name a few.…

I like this diagram. A big part of it comes from projecting the collective knowledge of everyone else onto each of them individually!

Very excited about CloudWatch Application Signals, now available in preview. Out of the box best practice monitoring and troubleshooting of your applications! Start from a summary, and drill down and out to find root the cause of issues aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amaz…

For those of you who aren’t here at #awsreinvent2023, the sessions are making it up onto YouTube very quickly! This one on Building observability to increase resiliency is already up. Enjoy! youtu.be/MARiKxvrdmc
