I participated in the Innovation talk about the next-generation developer at AWS, so in this blog, I have compiled an overview of AWS products for the next-generation experience at AWS featured in the session, so let me introduce them to you.
Overview
Join this talk to explore the next-generation AWS developer experience. Adam Seligman, Vice President of AWS Generative Builders, provides updates on the latest AWS developer tools and services, including capabilities powered by generative AI, low-code abstractions, cloud development, and operations. See demos of key developer services and how they integrate to help enhance productivity and innovation. Discover how AWS is empowering builders of virtually all skill levels to build, deploy, and scale resilient cloud applications quickly. Learn how the continuous evolution of AWS developer tools and integration and cloud capabilities creates new opportunities to innovate and accomplish more.
