AWS just launched "AWS Capabilities by Region" - arguably one of their best named products in years. It interactively shows which services and APIs are available, planned, and NOT planned for a region. A very welcome addition to service transparency!

This makes me very happy! The $6 per month per app client is GONE. Immediately. This was a cost control which actively disincentivized good architecture and I'm glad they removed it.

NEW on the AWS News Feed: you can now view a chart to see when articles were released. For example, search for IPv6 and see the first chart. Or search for API Gateway, and find out there were hardly any releases in 2021-2023. Go try it out and have some fun!
