I was recently a Director at AWS. My org owned EventBridge, Step Functions, SWF, and a few other things that keep the machine moving but which you won’t have heard of. Super interested in Serverless, integration, and developer experience.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

🚀 "Wait, JSONata can do WHAT with AWS Step Functions?!"
If you use #AWS Step Functions (or want to), these 2 new features—JSONata + Variables—will save you time, money, and sanity.
Let’s break it down ⤵️

Real-time push notifications can be accomplished using different approaches but using the services mentioned in the video make it quite easy. Tools like Step Functions, Eventbridge, and more are involved. (2/2)

Finally deleted Twitter (I refuse to use the new name) from my phone. I’d stopped paying attention in general, but was still finding my way over there once in a while. Really doesn’t seem to be any good reason to anymore though.

Don Ross is a Canadian musical legend. He funded his last album through kickstarter and is looking to do it again, but needs help to get this one over the line. This is an awesome way to help an independent artist! Please think about backing.

Huge launch! EventBridge and Step Functions can now invoke APIs deployed inside your VPCs. Building on the VPC Resources over PrivateLink that also went live today. Awesome partnership with these teams to make this happen! Excited for how it will simplify modernization!

Join me! This one is sure to be a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy a technical deep dive.
A new-launch session hosted by Marc Brooker has just popped up in the re:Invent session catalog.
Seats are still available, and I'm sure you don't want to miss it.
