New for AWS Amplify – Query MySQL and PostgreSQL database for AWS CDK

Today we are announcing the general availability to connect and query your existing MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with support for AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), a new feature to create a real-time, secure GraphQL API for your relational database within or outside Amazon Web Services (AWS). You can now generate the entire API for all relational database operations with just your database endpoint and credentials. When your database schema changes, you can run a command to apply the latest table schema changes. In 2021, we announced AWS Amplify GraphQL Transformer version 2, enabling developers to develop more feature-rich, flexible, and extensible GraphQL-based app backends even with minimal cloud expertise. This new GraphQL Transformer was redesigned from the ground up…

Vector search for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is now generally available

Today, we are announcing the general availability of vector search for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility), a new built-in capability that lets you store, index, and search millions of vectors with millisecond response times within your document database. Vector search is an emerging technique used in machine learning (ML) to find similar data points to given data by comparing their vector representations using distance or similarity metrics. Vectors are numerical representation of unstructured data created from large language models (LLM) hosted in Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and other open source or proprietary ML services. This approach is useful in creating generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as intuitive search, product recommendation, personalization, and chatbots using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) model…
