November 20th, 2019 is our first ever AWS Storage Day. Just over a week ahead of re:Invent, we are making the first round of important announcements, and all of them are related to storage. Regardless of the AWS storage services that you use, we think you’ll find something interesting and useful with the news we are about to share. We are launching significant new storage and data transfer features for: • Amazon S3 • Amazon EFS • Amazon EBS • Amazon FSx for Windows File Server • AWS DataSync • AWS Storage Gateway These launches will help improve security, increase, scalability, reduce costs, and deliver an enhanced feature set for you to utilize. Check out our blog summary chronicling all the recent AWS storage launches and make sure to check the blog throughout the day, as well as leading up to re:Invent. We will continue to add updates as new launch material becomes available. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/aws-storage-day

Building lasting relationships with your customers is tough, though it doesn't have to be. On today's episode, Simon speaks with Product Lead Zach Barbitta and Lead Front End Engineer Austin Nevins about their new launch, Pinpoint Journeys. Pinpoint Journeys is an outbound engagement orchestration tool, designed to help product, growth, and marketing teams build lasting relationships with their customers. With Pinpoint Journeys you give independence to your non-technical teams, via the no-code required functionality of Pinpoint Journeys.
