Jassy’s lesson learnt: Cost matters, you need an LLM model specific to your purpose

Automated reasoning checks to avoid hallucinations in LLM output. Need to look more into this one.

Aurora 10-year anniversary, and now Aurora DSQL separates transaction processing from storage for low latency strong consistency across partitions. Pushing the CAP theorem boundary?

PostgreSQL compatible, scales to zero, sounds good!

On to the storage building block. S3, the first AWS service launched 18 years ago, getting a lot of focus on stage with 400+ trillion objects stored. Lots of cost-performance options
