In my last Week in Review post, I mentioned how much time I’ve been spending on AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) workshops with customers this year. A common theme in those sessions is the need for better cost visibility. Teams are moving fast with AI, but as they go from experimenting to full production, finance and […]

Not every project needs this. But if you are publishing to more than one channel, or if your team has ever duplicated content across three systems just to keep them in sync, a headless CMS is probably overdue. A headless CMS is a structured content platform that separates where content lives from where it appears. […]

Most organizations today are not suffering from a lack of data. They are suffering from a lack of activation. Customer data is collected, stored, governed, enriched and reported on at scale.

With this new capability, you can specify a guardrail in a new Amazon Bedrock policy within the management account of your organization that automatically enforces […]

I saw a tweet last week from someone who was genuinely excited about the 1M token context window. “We had 4,700 lines of markdown state machines,” they wrote, “and the 1M window made it unnecessary.” I read that three times trying to figure out if I was missing something. You had 4,700 lines of state […]

Today, we’re announcing managed daemon support for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances. This new capability extends the managed instances experience we introduced in September 2025, by giving platform engineers independent control over software agents such as monitoring, logging, and tracing tools, without requiring coordination with application development teams, while also improving reliability […]
