Attendee guide: Dev tools

This guide focuses on attendees and builders interested in dev tools—which include all things about Amazon CodeCatalyst, DevOps, CI/CD, AWS Amplify, AWS AppSync, and anything that enables developers to build on AWS, including Amazon CodeWhisperer and other fantastic tools that we are going to see this year.

This guide helps you to identify the hidden gems of the amazing AWS session catalog, tailored toward builders that want to get the best out of AWS dev tools. You are going to get a condensed list of sessions that will level up your experience as a builder using AWS dev tools.

 

Dev tools on AWS include a big subset of AWS services—essentially anything that enables developers to build on AWS. CodeCatalyst was one of the flagship announcements of AWS re:Invent 2022; Amplify and AWS AppSync also help developers build better software on AWS. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) can be implemented with AWS dev tools, and the AWS Toolkits for different IDEs can, with CodeWhisperer and other things, help developers build faster and better software. With generative AI being on everyone’s mind this year, I’ve also included a few sessions that talk about using generative AI to improve developer experience. AWS CDK and AWS SAM are obviously also part of this guide, as well as Powertools for AWS Lambda.
