Just returning from an internal Amazon Connect deep[1] dive. I haven’t touched this particular product since maybe 5 years?! Dirk Frรถhner โ I’m sure you remember our joint large-scale workshop with one of your customers.
What stuck with me from that time was how fast you can actually set up a contact center in the cloud โ less than 30 minutes from zero to the first call received โ and how much AI was already improving both the customer and agent experience back then. That hasn’t changed.

Agentic coding has become reality for developers everywhere ๐. Tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and Amazon’s Kiro are leading the charge, boosting coding efficiency and developer experienceโas long as you stay firmly in the driver’s seat. But with great power comes challenges, especially as agentic workflows drive more tool integrations via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Developers and teams now juggle multiple MCP servers, each with its own endpoints, authentication flows, and security requirements. This raises key issues: How do we guarantee security and compliance at scale, whether for solo devs or enterprise teams? And from a pure DX perspective, who wants to wrangle endless auth methods? ๐ฉ

๐ Caught up on AWSโs open-sourcing of API models in Smithy format (slipped my radar earlier this year, but timeless value!). There is a GitHub Repository [4] available with AWS API smithy models for 200+ services. Announcement Blog: [1]
A Smithy model is the core semantic representation in Smithy, an open-source interface definition language (IDL) developed by AWS for defining APIs, services, and data structures in a protocol-agnostic way.
It consists of shapes (like primitives, lists, maps, structures, and services), traits for metadata, and shape IDs for referencing components, enabling code generation for SDKs, documentation, and validation across languages. Models are serialized in formats like Smithy IDL or JSON and include a prelude with built-in types.

Always takes a customer - my first time in our brand new BER21 in Berlin. Amazing location and Berlin is welcoming us with crispy & bright sunshine.
Always great to (re-) connect with colleagues. Bumping into Sascha to hear the latest about Containers at AWS, strategizing with Kerstin & Alexander and turning the last knobs with John on our presentation for this afternoon.
Wouldn’t be Berlin without the Bear obviously ….

โGood Morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
“What do you mean?” he said. “Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”

Super interesting talk for everyone in advertising to get a better understanding of not only why agents will impact your business, but also build those efficiently.

Everything changes all the time - Open Mind for a different view. And nothing else matter.
Last week’s re:invent is a wrap. I guess many of the folks in my network are still busy with digesting what happened last week - like me.
It’s a wrap also for Werner Vogels rocking the stage with his CTO keynotes - aย 14-year streak starting from 2012:
ย 1. ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ: Introduced foundational principles of 21st-century cloud architectures, emphasizing distributed systems and fault-tolerant designs for scalable applications.
