119. The state of AWS 2024 (AnsWeRS community survey commentary)

In this episode, we provide commentary and analysis on the 2024 AWS Community Survey results. We go through the key findings for each area including infrastructure as code, CI/CD, serverless, containers, NoSQL databases, event services, and AI/ML. While recognizing potential biases, we aim to extract insights from the data and share our perspectives based on experience. Overall, we see increased adoption across many services, though some pain points remain around developer experience. We hope this format provides value to listeners interested in cloud technology trends.

I got really good at CloudFormation. I wouldn't say I liked it, but felt it got the job done. Moving now to CDK (prefer Python) in the same language the project is using.
Also: A show about DynamoDB single table design would be interesting to me.

[@AWSBites]

Do you expect any drawbacks with CDK or is it all positive? Best of luck with the move!
