Episode notes
INSIGHT

Incremental Feature Improvements

  • AWS continues to add small, practical limits and features across services rather than sweeping changes.
  • These tweaks solve real operational pain without changing core cloud complexity.
INSIGHT

Winning Developers Where They Work

  • AWS is integrating with developer platforms to reduce friction for newer devs.
  • The vendor aims to host workloads where modern developers already work to win adoption.
ADVICE

Migrate Off Workarounds

  • Use the new Lambda cross-account DynamoDB Streams feature to simplify cross-account replication.
  • Replace fragile SQS/SNS-based workarounds now that native cross-account access exists.
