Today, we are launching AWS BugBust, the world’s first global challenge to fix one million bugs and reduce technical debt by over $100 million. You might have participated in a bug bash before. Many of the software companies where I’ve worked (including Amazon) run them in the weeks before launching a new product or service. […]

Traditional industries like mining have been slow to adapt to changing IP technology.  Of course, coal and other mining types have adopted new technologies starting with mechanical drills powered by pistons, then compressed air in the Industrial Revolution to today’s newly-developed machines used for grinding and crushing can extract minerals from the earth with less […]

AWS CloudFormation and the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) provide scalable and consistent provisioning of AWS resources (for example, compute infrastructure, monitoring tools, databases, and more). We’ve heard from many customers that they’d like to benefit from the same consistency and scalability when provisioning resources from AWS Partner Network (APN) members, third-party vendors, and open-source […]

AWS Step Functions allow you to build scalable, distributed applications using state machines. Until today, building workflows on Step Functions required you to learn and understand Amazon State Language (ASL). Today, we are launching Workflow Studio, a low-code visual tool that helps you learn Step Functions through a guided interactive interface and allows you to […]

The most common questions I get from customers – whether it be developers or executives – are targeted at understanding how Amazon is able to move so quickly. They want to know about our company culture, our organizational structure, the internal tools we use, and the type of people we hire, just to name a […]

There was a time not so long ago that space was known as the final frontier—the exclusive domain of governments and a small handful of aerospace companies who could muster the technology and resources to depart the Earth’s atmosphere. Today, however—similar to what we’ve observed with technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing that were […]
