The AWS Developers Podcast

In this episode, Emily and Dave chat with John Dalton, Sr. Product Manager, Amazon RDS Open Source, and Jonathan Katz, Principal PMT, Amazon RDS Open Source, about the recent launch of Trusted Language Extensions PostgreSQL. Trusted Language Extensions for PostgreSQL is an open source development kit for building PostgreSQL extensions that allows developers to build high performance PostgreSQL extensions and safely run them on your RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance. By using Trusted Language Extensions (TLE) for PostgreSQL, developers can create PostgreSQL extensions that follow the documented approach for extending PostgreSQL functionality. Both Johns discuss building this new service update, and their approach to open source.

In this episode, Dave and Emily chat with Srinivas Iragavarapu, Sr. SDM for Amazon CodeWhisperer. Designed to improve developer productivity, Amazon CodeWhisperer provides machine learning (ML)–powered code recommendations to accelerate development of C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript applications. The service integrates with multiple integrated development environments (IDEs), including JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm), Visual Studio Code, AWS Cloud9, and the AWS Lambda console, and helps developers write code faster by generating entire functions and logical blocks of code—often consisting of more than 10–15 lines of code. Srinivas discusses the recent re:Invent 2022 developer preview launch, how the team built Code Whisperer, and how developers can take advantage of the service today.
