BIG shoutout to @honeycomb.io. I already loved their product for human root cause analysis, but their MCP server is next level shit. I configured it in Cursor, gave a single command, and the agent found and fixed the error in a minute. HUGE timesaver!

It's only three weeks until Re:Invent 2025! This means peak season for the AWS News Feed 📈 Do you want to support the best AWS news tracker and get your brand in front of 10s of thousands of highly engaged AWS enthusiasts? I still have Silver sponsor slots available for $500 / month!

Holy cow 🐮 The AWS News Feed had more visitors in October 2025 than during Re:Invent 2024! We've also doubled the visitor count year-over-year 😳 The next two months are going to be insane!

Big day for AWS releases, which is no surprise with just over one month until Re:Invent 2025.

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!

Reserved seating for AWS Re:Invent opens October 14th! The best and most popular sessions will be gone in seconds, so making a personal must-see list is ✨essential✨. Luckily my friend Raphael Manke made the best session planner for just this purpose. Go check it out at reinvent-planner.cloud!

This is my favorite CloudWatch Metric for the AWS News Feed ❤️ The orange line shows the number of digest subscribers, the blue line shows the delta. This chart has always shown a positive trend, but I expect additional growth in the Pre:Invent season. Free dopamine for me!

The AWS News Feed is currently without funding 😢 Meanwhile development of new features continues, the site's numbers are consistently growing, and with the pre:Invent season about to fire up we expect only more visitors and subscribers in the coming months! Will you become a sponsor? Send me a DM!
