A developer built a real-time AI recommendation agent using AWS Bedrock, Kinesis, DynamoDB, and S3. The system reacts to streaming user behavior within seconds, updating recommendation sets asynchrono…
Decision records are emerging as a critical memory layer in AI-assisted software development, capturing not just what was built but why, as AI tools make code cheaper to generate and easier to refacto…
A developer built a full-stack B2B Dutch-auction marketplace in three days using V0, Next.js 16, and Vercel's AWS integration. The project revealed that V0 excels at generating multi-page UI from deta…
A developer built ChatScroll for the AWS H0 Hackathon, an app that uses Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with pgvector to create a personal AI knowledge base. The app saves AI answers as searchable 'Scrolls' …
A developer built ChemSpectra Agent, an FTIR spectral analysis system that uses a ReAct loop with Qwen-3.7-Max function calling to autonomously select from five analytical tools and self-verify its co…
A developer discovered that their DynamoDB table for an AI anti-counterfeiting platform had a hot partition anti-pattern, where all operation logs wrote to a single partition key, risking throughput l…
A developer tested AWS Blocks, a new public preview from AWS, on a production Amplify Gen2 project with 40+ models. They found Blocks is additive, not a migration, and allows local DynamoDB developmen…
Amazon S3 Annotations, introduced in June 2026, allow mutable, structured payloads up to 1 MB each to be attached directly to S3 objects, enabling context like transcripts and meeting minutes to live …
AWS veteran and DynamoDB, Lambda, and API Gateway builder Randall Hunt reflects on 20 years of making developers' lives easier, now applying lessons to agentic AI. He advocates spec-driven development…
AWS launched Blocks, an open-source TypeScript framework in public preview, designed for AI agents to build backends with local-first development and zero-infrastructure-code deployment to AWS service…
A developer identified an N+1 trigger pattern where multiple Lambda functions hammer the same DynamoDB partition key, causing latency spikes. The Infrawise tool uses AST parsing and API calls to build…
A developer's guide compares PostgreSQL, MySQL, and NoSQL databases, explaining their architectures, use cases, and performance characteristics. The article clarifies that PostgreSQL and MySQL are bot…
At AWS Summit Los Angeles 2026, a developer building with Kiro learned the importance of spec-driven development during a lab led by AWS Senior Technical Instructor Clayton Markos. The developer reali…
Infrawise, an MCP server providing infrastructure context to AI coding assistants, uses deterministic analysis instead of large language models to answer fact-based questions. The tool extracts data f…
A developer outlines a practical playbook for AI fluency among software engineers, emphasizing that effective AI use goes beyond prompt engineering to include clear context, iterative refinement, and …
Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, generates infrastructure-touching code without awareness of actual cloud resources, leading to costly errors like full table scans on 50M-row DynamoDB tables. A ne…
A developer created Infrawise, an open-source tool that prevents AI coding assistants like Claude Code from recommending redundant DynamoDB indexes by reading real infrastructure data before generatin…
Stratoclave, an open-source tenant-aware credit gateway for Amazon Bedrock, now supports OpenAI codex and GPT-5.x models through Bedrock's `bedrock-mantle` endpoint. The single FastAPI service running…
Developers should deploy a simple five-step backend loop—receive message, check user identity, call AI provider, save result, return response—rather than overbuilding AI applications with complex feat…
The article describes a team's failed attempt to scale a treasure hunt engine by adding more MySQL instances behind a load balancer within a single AWS availability zone, which led to disk I/O and CPU…
