Over the past decade, Byron's team has proven the correctness of our authorization engine, our cryptographic implementations, and our virtualization layer. Now they're taking those same techniques and applying them to agentic systems.
Today, I’m honored to introduce you to the latest cohort of Now Go Build CTO Fellows. Individuals from around the world with diverse backgrounds (engineering, the humanities, business, healthcare, entrepreneurship, law) that have found their calling at the intersection of technology and education.
Fear is actually a pretty good signal that you are pushing into the unknown, that real growth doesn’t happen without a bit of that associated discomfort, and that it’s worth becoming aware when it happens. Aware enough to consider actually leaning into it.
We’ve caught glimpses of a future that values autonomy, empathy, and individual expertise. Where interdisciplinary cooperation influences discovery and creation at an unrelenting pace. In the coming year, we will begin the transition into a new era of AI in the human loop, not the other way around. This cycle will create massive opportunities to solve problems that truly matter.
While many of us chase the latest tech trends, innovative builders in Sub-Saharan Africa are leveraging a nearly 30-year-old messaging protocol to process hundreds of billions in transactions annually, reminding us that the best technology isn't always the shiniest, it's what actually solves customer problems.
Building with Amazon SageMaker AI should be about innovation, not wrestling with development environments or building bespoke observability systems. Here's how we're removing roadblocks so builders can focus on what matters most.
This new five-part mini-series follows technology leaders from social impact organizations solving humanity's hardest problems - from crisis zones to community centers. Watch how they use drones to map disaster zones, AI/ML to predict food shortages, and open data to save lives.
These seven Now Go Build CTO Fellows are reimagining healthcare from the ground up. Proving that the most effective solutions emerge when technology is shaped by the communities that use it.
AWS Senior Principal Engineers, Niko Matsakis and Marc Bowes, take us inside Aurora DSQL's development: scaling write operations without two-phase commit, overcoming garbage collection hurdles, and embracing Rust for both data and control planes.
The vision was to build the Star Trek computer. 10 years ago that was an ambitious goal. We’ve come a long way since then - from basic voice commands to much more conversational interfaces with Alexa+.
From simple object storage to sophisticated table management, builders have always shaped S3's evolution. Andy Warfield discusses why making complex systems simple remains our north star at AWS.
Here are a few of my favourite books to help you think like a fox - from sci-fi classics to the importance of doing nothing at all (it's a Dutch thing).
We've entered an era of unprecedented societal challenges and rapid technological advancements. Harnessing technology for good has become both an ethical imperative and a profitable endeavor.
