In his keynote @werner.social said „Now go build“ and as we take Bias for Action serious, we built listen-to-the-heroes.com.

Thanks @hoegertn.de @pgarbe.bsky.social @lockhead.bsky.social @osterjour.bsky.social @abjoerne.bsky.social @monica.aws-he.ro for making this possible!

Up at 4:30 AM, out the door at 5:30, caught a train at 6:15 to go raise awareness about the power of the AWS Community. It's been a while since I had such an early start. Still dark outside! 😅 Last commitment before heading to reInvent!

10 years of Amazon ECS. It kicked off a lot of innovation in container management. One of the highlights was the introduction of Fargate, so there was no need any more for managing the underlying infrastructure. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ce...

Glad to see Bluesky's revamping in the form of meaningful conversations - maybe it's finally time to leave some platforms behind and get a new home! 🤞
