In the latest Frugal Architect episode we talk with @BoyanSlat about @TheOceanCleanup's mission to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040. The key lesson: start simple and let the mission guide your engineering. When you're on the right path, solutions get simpler over time. thefrugalarchitect.com/archi…

I designed and built (with a great team) a very large scale one of these ‘database per resource’ designs just over a decade ago. They have a ton of nice properties (low blast radius, great scalability), but also introduce a lot of complexity (e.g. finding the right database).

New: Amazon VP & CTO @Werner on why AI for good depends on good data and why open geospatial information is essential for humanitarian aid, disaster response, and equitable progress:
No data, no AI, no progress. My @AmazonScience article explores how multi-layered mapping + petabyte-scale cloud infrastructure helps save lives in time of crisis. Building AI without addressing the fundamental data divide means solving the wrong problems.amazon.science/blog/why-ai-f…>

I cannot believe it took me 21 years at Amazon.com to end up on the one and only Amazon. It was absolutely worth the wait.
As developers, we want to create and find new solutions—not port Java 11 apps to 17. Here is a real opportunity with AI tools. First understand your problem, THEN consider solutions. Our data shows that teams using this approach cut costs 15.9% YoY. amazon.science/blog/measurin…
Cheap ≠ frugal. This is a lesson Zillow’s Craig Link learned from his dad. Packing lunch, limiting stops on road trips, and on the latest episode of The Frugal Architect, we talk about how these early lessons in frugality made him a better engineer. thefrugalarchitect.com/archi…
I remember it scared me at first when I got it. But it has become one of my most loved fundamental CS books. Now available for free!
One of the most influential programming textbooks was first published as a paperback 40 years ago today: MIT's "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs."

The best solutions come from those closest to the problem. Our final episode of the latest Now Go Build series features Fellows building solutions WITH their communities, not just FOR them. It’s a strong reminder that tech works best when paired with local wisdom. Watch every episode of the series on ATD: allthingsdistributed.com/202…
Enough food is produced to feed everyone in the world, yet 40% gets wasted in the US alone. Technology can help. The latest episode of Now Go Build features CTO Fellows tackling food security head-on, both globally and locally.

Eight years after launching SageMaker AI, our mission remains the same: put machine learning in the hands of every builder, regardless of skill level.
Our latest updates tackle real builder pain points.

Behind every humanitarian crisis are people making decisions with incomplete data. It's a challenge I've seen time and again in my travels.
What if we could change that? #NowGoBuild

Maps save lives. 🌍
Now Go Build CTO Fellows use AWS & AI to guide humanitarian teams where GPS can't reach. Dr. @Werner shows us what's possible when making the invisible visible.

When we say "no non-EU dependencies" we mean it. AWS is lighting up a new root Certificate Authority fully based in the EU. Private keys, secure facilities, operators, management, issuances, revocations, the metadata handling ... all based only in the EU. aws.amazon.com/blogs/securit…

Whether climate resilience, disaster recovery, or food security -- access to good data can be the difference between life and death. Today, I’m launching a new 5-part miniseries that focuses on the builders working every day to solve these hard human problems. allthingsdistributed.com/202…
