YES! It's out it's out, I am SO excited for this! #AWSLambda Web Functions are a game changer! A true HTTP request handler and Each execution environment handles multiple requests simultaneously (up to 128 concurrent requests per environment). Multi-region deploy, and so much more! -> aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ann…

Annoyed at the giant sub navigation bar taking up a large portion of the screen on the AWS webpage? I've got you covered!

MCP = what. Skills = how. Nobody has solved when.
New article + open source reference implementation exploring that gap — and why every local model I tested failed.

Anyone else noticing tension between models. I provided feedback to claude Opus 4.6 from a Gemma model running locally on Ollama.
Claude: "Decent review for a local model .... Point 1 is the only actionable one — want me to add a doc comment ..."
All you marketing people out there that need to hear this. YOU provide the unsubscribe link so make that what it does! Don't ask for my phone number or login coz I'm done with you!!!! Unsubscribe me!!!
Just published serverless-dna/sop-agents to npm
AWS released Strands Agent SOPs in Nov - markdown files that define agent workflows. But they didn't ship any tooling.
LLM coordinates agents at runtime. Write markdown get agents.

AWS Lambda Durable Functions uses AWS-owned keys for checkpoint encryption.
Need customer-managed KMS keys for compliance? AWS recommends custom serialization.
I wrote a guide with working TypeScript implementations: serverlessdna.com/strands/la…
MCP servers run with full user permissions.
Your SSH keys, AWS credentials, and browser cookies are all visible.
run-mcp fixes that.
One-word change: full container isolation.
No Docker knowledge needed.

Classic "works on my machine" moment 🤦♂️
Fixed the MCP server setup example in my Kiro + WSL guide after cleaning up my shell init, which broke them.
Updated guide: serverlessdna.com/strands/co…
Hit issues? Let's debug in the comments.

So excited for the new open source release from @awscloud!!! Can't wait to start building, so EXCITED
Thrilled to see @awscloud making a major contribution to the open source AI community with the launch of the Strands Agents, an open source AI agents SDK! aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensou…
The core of Strands is the simple agentic loop that connects the model and tools together, like the two strands of DNA. This model-driven approach to agent building eliminates the need for complex agent orchestration by embracing the capabilities of state-of-the-art models to plan, chain thoughts, call tools, and reflect. Providing open source tools and interoperability with open source protocols is an important part of our strategy to enable an agentic future. Can't wait to see what you build with Strands!

Are you a Vibe Coder?
Do you want your Vibe-coded Lambda functions to incorporate best practices?
Amazon Q Cli has support for MCP servers. I took it for a test drive today and plugged in my Unofficial Powertools MCP Server.
What could go wrong ??!?
