The dust has settled after another re:Invent. I once again had the privilege of organizing the Front-end Web and Mobile (FWM) track along with Jessie VanderVeen, Anubhav Rao and countless others. For 2022, the FWM track included 28 sessions. If you weren’t able to attend, I have compiled a list of the on-demand sessions for you below.

How To Capture The Value Of Generative AI In A Responsible And Secure Way We delve into the profound impact of generative AI across industries, discussing the need for ethical and secure implementation to harness its potential responsibly while mitigating risks. I am joined by three guests from AWS: Tom Godden, Enterprise Strategist and CxO Advisor, Mani Khanuja, Generative AI Tech Lead and Brian Beach, Principal Solutions Architect.

DOP221 | Amazon CodeCatalyst in real time: Deploying to production in minutes - In this follow-up demonstration to DOP210, see how you can use an Amazon CodeCatalyst blueprint to build a production-ready application that is set up for long-term success. See in real time how to create a project using a CodeCatalyst Dev Environment and deploy it to production using a CodeCatalyst workflow.

DOP310 | Better together: GitHub Actions, Amazon CodeCatalyst, or AWS CodeBuild - Learn how combining GitHub Actions with Amazon CodeCatalyst or AWS CodeBuild can maximize development efficiency. In this chalk talk, learn about the tradeoffs of using GitHub Actions runners hosted on Amazon EC2 or Amazon ECS with GitHub Actions hosted on CodeCatalyst or CodeBuild. Explore integration with other AWS services to enhance workflow automation. Join this talk to learn how GitHub Actions on AWS can take your development processes to the next level.

Amazon CodeCatalyst is an integrated service for software development teams adopting continuous integration and deployment practices into their software development process. CodeCatalyst puts the tools you need all in one place. You can plan work, collaborate on code, and build, test, and deploy applications with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools. You can also integrate AWS resources with your projects by connecting your AWS accounts to CodeCatalyst spaces.

Using Generative AI to Accelerate SQL Development - In this session, we will demonstrate how Amazon CodeWhisperer enables more agile and productive database development by taking natural language input about desired database operations and outputting the corresponding SQL code. We will cover examples of generating SQL with CodeWhisperer, best practices for crafting effective prompts, and how to refine the generated code to fit your database schema and requirements. Join us to see how you can leverage CodeWhisperer to save time and effort compared to manually writing SQL, delivering applications faster and more securely. Link

Accelerate Java development with Amazon CodeWhisperer, your generative AI coding companion - Join this session to get insights into Java development with Amazon CodeWhisperer and see how forward-looking teams are accelerating application development and enhancing developer “flow.” Link

Your AI Assistant: Boost dev with Amazon CodeWhisperer - Thanks to rapid advancement of AI, application development no longer requires extensive manual coding or continuously learning new frameworks and libraries. Join us to see how integrating Amazon CodeWhisperer into your workflow accelerates delivery, enhances software quality, and helps developers focus on application logic instead of boilerplate code and documentation.

AWS CodeDeploy is a fully managed deployment service that automates software deployments to various compute services, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), AWS Lambda, and on-premises servers. AWS CodeDeploy recently announced support for deploying to applications that use multiple AWS Elastic Load Balancers (ELB). CodeDeploy now supports multiple Classic Load Balancers (CLB), and multiple target groups associated with Application Load Balancers (ALB) or Network Load Balancer (NLB) when using CodeDeploy with Amazon EC2. In this blog post, I will show you how to deploy an application served by multiple load balancers.

Accelerate application development with Amazon CodeWhisperer - Developers spend a significant amount of their time writing undifferentiated code. Amazon CodeWhisperer, a generative AI–powered coding companion, radically improves productivity by generating code suggestions in real time to alleviate this burden. In this session, learn how CodeWhisperer can “write” much of this undifferentiated code, allowing developers to focus on business logic and accelerate the pace of their innovation. Link

I presented two sessions in during AWS On Tour in Barcelona, Spain

Work with AWS right from your IDE - Let’s talk about how AWS can help you be a more productive developer. As software developers, you are always asked to do more with less. You need to ditch every impediments that slow down your flow, every context switch that hurts your productivity. The AWS Toolkit helps to stay focused in your favorite IDE. You can access your AWS services, you can deploy to AWS to test your project in minutes without having deep knowledge on infrastructure as code.

DOP301 Tips and tricks for coding with a generative AI coding companion - Generative AI tools that can generate code suggestions, such as Amazon CodeWhisperer, are growing rapidly in popularity. Join this chalk talk to learn how Amazon CodeWhisperer can accelerate and enhance your software development with code generation, reference tracking, security scans, and more. Learn best practices for prompt engineering, and get tips and tricks that can help you be more productive when building applications.

Last week the Developer Tools team announced that AWS CodeBuild now supports GitHub Actions. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that allows you to build and test code. CodeBuild builds are defined as a collection of build commands and related settings, in YAML format, called a BuildSpec. You can now define GitHub Actions steps directly in the BuildSpec and run them alongside CodeBuild commands. In this post, I will use the Liquibase GitHub Action to deploy changes to an Amazon Aurora database in a private subnet.
