One announcement that caught my attention in the EKS space during this year’s AWS re:Invent conference was the addition of the Amazon EKS Pod Identities feature. This new addition helps simplify the complexities of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) within Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). EKS Pod Identities simplify IAM credential management in EKS clusters, addressing a problematic area over the past few years as Microservice adoption has risen across the industry.

At Lumigo, building developer-first tools has always been at the forefront of our approach to troubleshooting and debugging. As developers ourselves, we have experienced firsthand the frustration and intricacies of sifting through logs looking for answers. We’ve also felt the pressure of the clock ticking, with production issues waiting to be resolved and the need for timely answers to surfaced application issues.

Lumigo is excited to announce its microservice troubleshooting platform now provides developers and DevOps with the power of OpenTelemetry (OTel) with a single click. Lumigo has long been the leading troubleshooting platform for serverless, but now, users can harness its best-in-class debugging and observability platform for all microservices-based environments.

Werner Vogel’s keynote is usually the highlight of re:Invent and 2023 is no different. Although there were no noteworthy service announcements, Werner gave a timely reminder that cost is an important non-functional requirement and that we should all strive to be a frugal architect.

AI-related announcements dominate once more. New models for Bedrock. Vector search everywhere, and DynamoDB does a bait-and-switch. Welcome to day 3 of re:Invent 2023.

We had the opening keynote by Adam Selipsky. If you missed the live stream, you can watch it on YouTube here. Unsurprisingly, so much of the keynote was about AI.

After the absolute barrage of announcements on day 0, day 1 brought us some mild excitement and one big disappointment…

In typical re:Invent fashion, AWS has made a series of big announcements before the main event even kicks off! Here are some groundbreaking serverless updates that you should know about.

It’s that time of the year again as re:Invent is almost upon us Here is a list of the serverless-related announcements so far that you should know about.

Open Telemetry (OTel) is an open source observability framework that has garnered significant attention for its powerful capabilities in monitoring metrics, logs and traces.. It is second only to Kubernetes in the CNCF velocity chart with contributions being made from major players in the cloud industry, and has a growing community helping build out a thriving ecosystem.
