AWS Launches & Previews at re:Invent 2019 – Wednesday, December 4th

Here’s what we announced today:

Amplify DataStore – This is a persistent, on-device storage repository that will help you to synchronize data across devices and to handle offline operations. It can be used as a standalone local datastore for web and mobile applications that have no connection to the cloud or an AWS account. When used with a cloud backend, it transparently synchronizes data with AWS AppSync.

Amplify iOS and Amplify Android – These open source libraries enable you can build scalable and secure mobile applications. You can easily add analytics, AI/ML, API (GraphQL and REST), datastore, and storage functionality to your mobile and web applications. The use case-centric libraries provide a declarative interface that enables you to programmatically apply best practices with abstractions. The libraries, along with the Amplify CLI, a toolchain to create, integrate, and manage the cloud services used by your applications, are part of the Amplify Framework.

Amazon Neptune Workbench – You can now query your graphs from within the Neptune Console using either Gremlin or SPARQL queries. You get a fully managed, interactive development environment that supports live code and narrative text within Jupyter notebooks. In addition to queries, the notebooks support bulk loading, query planning, and query profiling. To get started, visit the Neptune Console.

Amazon Chime Meetings App for Slack – This new app allows Slack users to start and join Amazon Chime online meetings from their Slack workspace channels and conversations. Slack users that are new to Amazon Chime will be auto-registered with Chime when they use the app for the first time, and can get access to all of the benefits of Amazon Chime meetings from their Slack workspace. Administrators of Slack workspaces can install the Amazon Chime Meetings App for Slack from the Slack App Directory. To learn more, visit this blog post.

HTTP APIs for Amazon API Gateway in Preview – This is a new API Gateway feature that will let you build cost-effective, high-performance RESTful APIs for serverless workloads using Lambda functions and other services with an HTTP endpoint. HTTP APIs are optimized for performance—they offer the core functionality of API Gateway at a cost savings of up to 70% compared to REST APIs in API Gateway. You will be able to create routes that map to multiple disparate backends, define & apply authentication and authorization to routes, set up rate limiting, and use custom domains to route requests to the APIs. Visit this blog post to get started.

Windows gMSA Support in ECS – Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) now supports Windows group Managed Service Account (gMSA), a new capability that allows you to authenticate and authorize your ECS-powered Windows containers with network resources using an Active Directory (AD). You can now easily use Integrated Windows Authentication with your Windows containers on ECS to secure services.
