PartyRock is an Amazon Bedrock playground that anyone can use to create generative AI-powered applications by simply describing the app you want to build without the need to write any code. Since its launch in November 2023, over half a million apps have been built by users worldwide. These apps range from simple text generators to sophisticated productivity tools that combine multiple AI capabilities. Throughout this year, we observed that as PartyRock users build skills and intuition by using the playground, they find interesting and useful ways to build apps for improving their daily lives. PartyRock apps increased their individual productivity, and they returned to PartyRock to use them regularly. Today, we’re introducing improvements meeting the most requested customer needs:…
Amazon MemoryDB Multi-Region is now generally available
Providing highly available applications while maintaining low latency reads and writes across AWS Regions is a common challenge faced by many customers. Accessing data from different Regions can cause a delay of hundreds of milliseconds compared to microseconds within the same Region. The necessity for developers to create complex custom solutions for data replication and conflict resolution can lead to increased operational workload and potential errors. Beyond multi-Region replication, these customers have to implement manual database failover procedures and provide data consistency and recovery to deliver highly available applications and data durability. Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the general availability of Amazon MemoryDB Multi-Region, a fully managed, active-active, multi-Region database that you can use to build applications with up…
Introducing default data integrity protections for new objects in Amazon S3
At Amazon Web Services (AWS), the vast majority of new capabilities are driven by your direct feedback. Two years ago, Jeff announced additional checksum algorithms and the optional client-side computation of checksums to make sure the objects stored on Amazon S3 are exactly what you sent. You told us you love this extra verification because it gives you confidence the object stored is the one you sent. You also told us you would prefer to have this extra verification enabled automatically, freeing you from developing additional code. Starting today, we’re updating the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) default behavior when you upload objects. To build upon its existing durability posture, Amazon S3 now automatically verifies that your data is…
AWS Database Migration Service now automates time-intensive schema conversion tasks using generative AI
Starting today, AWS Database Migration Service Schema Conversion (AWS DMS SC) introduces a new capability to improve the database schema conversion experience by automatically converting up to 90 percent of schema objects from commercial databases to PostgreSQL migrations. AWS DMS is a cloud service that makes it possible to migrate relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other types of data stores. You can use AWS DMS to migrate your data into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud or between combinations of cloud and on-premises setups. Today, more than 1 million databases have been migrated using AWS Database Migration Service. AWS DMS helps you migrate your data from one database system to another. And, when migrating between different database engines,…
