What happened at re:invent 2020 last week?
It's that time of the year when AWS announcements come thick and fast!
In the weeks leading to re:invent 2020 there were no fewer than 100 announcements, and Andy Jassy have dropped some huge announcements during his keynote.
To spare you the hassle and pain of going through all the announcement posts and figure out what they mean for you in practice, I have compiled a list of the top 22 recent announcements (related to serverless) and what they mean for you in practice.
Have a read of my re:Invent 2020 hot takes #1.
Aurora Serverless v2 was arguably the biggest announcement during Andy Jassy's keynote. And since then I've gotten quite a few questions about it, so I pull together a quick Q&A to address those common questions here.
All the sessions during week 1 are available to watch on-demand now. You can access them via the official reinvent portal here.
