Amazon CodeCatalyst now supports GitLab and Bitbucket repositories, with blueprints and Amazon Q feature development

I’m happy to announce that we’re further integrating Amazon CodeCatalyst with two popular code repositories: GitLab and BitBucket, in addition to the existing integration with GitHub. We bring the same set of capabilities that you use today on CodeCatalyst with GitHub to GitLab.com and Bitbucket Cloud. Amazon CodeCatalyst is a unified software development and delivery service. It enables software development teams to quickly and easily plan, develop, collaborate on, build, and deliver applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS), reducing friction throughout the development lifecycle. The GitHub, GitLab.com, and Bitbucket Cloud repositories extension for CodeCatalyst simplifies managing your development workflow. The extension allows you to view and manage external repositories directly within CodeCatalyst. Additionally, you can store and manage workflow definition files…

Optimizing Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) for speed and scale

After several public betas, we launched Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) in 2006. Nearly two decades later, this fully managed service is still a fundamental building block for microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications, processing over 100 million messages per second at peak times. Because there’s always a better way, we continue to look for ways to improve performance, security, internal efficiency, and so forth. When we do find a potential way to do something better, we are careful to preserve existing behavior, and often run new and old systems in parallel to allow us to compare results. Today I would like to tell you how we recently made improvements to Amazon SQS to reduce latency, increase fleet capacity,…

AWS Weekly Roundup: Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Amazon Bedrock, CodeCatalyst updates, SageMaker with MLflow, and more (June 24, 2024)

This week, I had the opportunity to try the new Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet model in Amazon Bedrock just before it launched, and I was really impressed by its speed and accuracy! It was also the week of AWS Summit Japan; here’s a nice picture of the busy AWS Community stage. Last week’s launches With many new capabilities, from recommendations on the size of your Amazon Relational Database Services (Amazon RDS) databases to new built-in transformations in AWS Glue, here’s what got my attention: Amazon Bedrock – Now supports Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and compressed embeddings from Cohere Embed. AWS CodeArtifact – With support for Rust packages with Cargo, developers can now store and access their Rust libraries (known as crates).…

AWS CodeArtifact adds support for Rust packages with Cargo

Starting today, Rust developers can store and access their libraries (known as crates in Rust’s world) on AWS CodeArtifact. Modern software development relies heavily on pre-written code packages to accelerate development. These packages, which can number in the hundreds for a single application, tackle common programming tasks and can be created internally or obtained from external sources. While these packages significantly help to speed up development, their use introduces two main challenges for organizations: legal and security concerns. On the legal side, organizations need to ensure they have compatible licenses for these third-party packages and that they don’t infringe on intellectual property rights. Security is another risk, as vulnerabilities in these packages could be exploited to compromise an application. A…
