Abstract:
Having created launch content for AWS throughout 2024, I've had a front-row seat to many new releases. From all the launches I've worked with last year, these four have become regular parts of my development workflow: Amazon Bedrock Converse API, Aurora DSQL, CloudFormation Timeline View, and few key Amazon Q Developer features.
For each one, I'll show you real code examples, practical demos, and share insights about what I learned while implementing them in my projects. You'll get straightforward advice about how these features can help your development process and how to get started with them.
Come along if you want to see these tools in action and learn from my hands-on experience behind the scenes at AWS.
