~400 developers in one room. Two days of building, learning, and connecting at JSDay 2026 in Bologna. 🇮🇹 What makes developer conferences like JSDay valuable isn't just the technical content. It's the community that forms when developers, engineers, and tech leaders from startups to enterprises gather to talk about the realities of building today. The Kiro Coding Challenge brought it to life: • Participants tackled TypeScript, AWS, and Kiro questions across multiple formats • Developers experimented and compared approaches in real-time The conversations that happen in hallways, at challenges, and over coffee often matter more than any slide deck. It was inspiring to see the community come together, not just to compete, but to learn from each other and push the boundaries. Huge thanks to GrUSP for creating this space, and to everyone who stopped by to connect, exchange ideas, or just talk shop. Special thanks to Anna-Chiara Bellini annd Muhammed Salih Güler.

Starting on AWS means running into services that make you think about development differently than you’re used to. Core service like IAM changes how you think about access, VPC forces you to understand what can actually connect, SQS and SNS introduce event-driven patterns, CloudFormation moves you into defining infrastructure instead of clicking through and CloudWatch pushes you to understand what’s happening across multiple moving parts. To help you develop a better mental model, this blog covers: • IAM policy evaluation and why AccessDenied errors happen • VPC routing, security groups, and explicit connectivity • The difference between queues and pub/sub messaging • CloudFormation’s declarative approach to infrastructure • CloudWatch logs, metrics, and debugging distributed systems If you're working through any of these right now, this blog breaks down what makes them challenging and how to think about them differently.

Twenty years ago, AWS launched its first services. Today, we're celebrating by taking the show on the road. 🚗 The AWS Community on Tour starts today in Austin and runs through six cities over the next two weeks. We're bringing hands-on agentic AI workshops directly to your local developer community, along with AWS Developer Advocates and the chance to meet builders in your area. Here's the schedule: Austin today (April 15), Dallas tomorrow (April 16), Houston on the 20th, Raleigh–Durham on the 23rd, Atlanta on the 27th, and Chicago on the 29th. What happens at each stop? You'll work through a hands-on workshop focused on agentic AI development. You'll meet AWS Developer Advocates, and you'll connect with other developers in your city. Plus food, community time, and swag. Throughout the tour, we're highlighting members of the developer community who've built AWS groups across North America from the ground up. From User Group leaders to longtime builders, we’ll spotlight some of the people who make this community special. ✨ Check the comments to register 👇
