New Features That Will Help You Build Better From Day One at AWS re:Invent

Fall/2022 – 3 min read

Notable new features and functionality announced during day one at AWS re:Invent 2022.

At re:Invent or attending remotely? Check out my “Ultimate Guide to AWS re:Invent 2022” post for some tips and tricks to get the most out of the show.

You’ve probably read it in the guide 👆 or heard me saying it a bunch in person or on Twitter, AWS pushes out a lot of updates during AWS re:Invent.

When I shared this thread 👇 on Twitter just before 2pm eastern, AWS had already published 52 different updates. WTF?!? That’s crazy. Good crazy, but still crazy.

More on the way for sure…
