While building a feature with Kiro, Krishiv Dakwala, Software Dev Engineer was using the new spec correctness feature with property-based testing and caught potential security weakness that he never would've found manually. The scenario: storing API keys by provider name in localStorage. Users save keys like: saveApiKey("openai", "sk-abc123...") saveApiKey("anthropic", "sk-ant-xyz...") Seems simple, right? 👀

New superpowers activated 🦸 ⚡ Kiro powers load tools dynamically based on what you ask for. Only what’s needed activates. Everything else stays out of memory. • No MCP overload • Fewer wasted tokens • Cleaner context Works with tools like @Figma, @Stripe, @supabase, and @datadoghq.

Vibe coding feels fast, but breaks under pressure. On the @realpython podcast, Marc Brooker breaks down spec driven development and why intent matters more than prompts as systems grow. Listen to the full episode 👉 spr.ly/6017ClzNl

🚀 Install Stripe's power with just one click! When you mention "payment" or "checkout," in Kiro activate Stripe automatically, bringing in MCP features and the POWER.md to guide you. #reinvent2025 #AWS #Stripe #Kiro #MCP

Kiro kinda rules. kiro.dev/blog/introduci… Love the workflow. Def makes a lot of things less painful.

I sat down with Darko Mesaros to talk about Kiro, specification-driven development, and putting AI-powered development in context of the history of computing. Is an LLM a compiler? What is a spec? How are specs like SQL? Check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=OdD9eL…

@jamesqquick @AWSAmplify I quickly tested @AWSAmplify gen 2 with @expo last week. First impression is really good. The realtime data feature works so good, even without a lot of configuration. Looking forward to build a full app with it.

@renebrandel Well done and congrats!

I did a thing.

We’d like to reintroduce ourselves: 👋 we’re AWS Amplify. 🟣 Build a cloud-powered backend in TypeScript 🟣 Connect it to your frontend using your favorite framwork 🟣 Deploy on every `git push`. Amplify Gen 2 is now ready for production! 🚀 go.aws/3Qudgx6

Ship faster with DynamoDB: PGA TOUR used DynamoDB and AppSync to deliver fast access to scoring data in their digital platform, accelerating feature deployment from two weeks to minutes. DynamoDB enables PGA TOUR to refresh scoring data 5x faster🏌️⛳⚡📱 go.aws/48P46BD

AppSync just launched support for environment variables for GraphQL APIs! You can now define environment variables on your API at configuration/build time and access them at run time in your resolvers. It's as easy as "ctx.env". aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

ooh nice, AppSync has environment variables now. Useful for passing in things like DynamoDB table names, API keys, etc. using ctx.env 👍 aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

I have played with @AWSAmplify Gen2 for a few weeks now, takeaways: - Focus on its core Auth and Data (schema) - Typescript first - Seamless integration with CDK - Sandbox per developer with watchmode to push changes immediately It's a great journeys so far, looking forward 💯💯

With the introduction of our new AWS Amplify Gen2, I created a full stack tutorial on it. With data, auth, relationships, server components and more! Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=wcSMnI…

AWS Amplify Gen 2 now offers flexible deployment choices 🛠️. BYO CI/CD pipeline for fullstack deployments. Dive into our tutorial that uses Amazon CodeCatalyst for cross-account deployments go.aws/473lXE4

AppSync Subscriptions is such a powerful tool for building real-time apps. If you haven't seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It's miles better than API Gateway WebSockets! Here's a quick explain video of what it is and how it works. youtube.com/watch?v=0G5UsN…
