Today, Amazon Simple Email Services (SES) announces the availability of Global Endpoints, a feature for resilient sending through two commercial AWS Regions. Global Endpoints works with SES APIv2 and allows customers to choose a primary and secondary Region which accommodate email sending workloads in an equal split under normal circumstances. If either region suffers an impairment, traffic shifts away from the affected Region towards the other, ensuring that email sending continues. Unlike manual multi-region setups, Global Endpoints simplifies the synchronization of verified identities, approved sending limits, and configuration sets between the two chosen Regions. B…

Organizations are building data-driven applications to guide business decisions, improve agility, and drive innovation. Many of these applications are complex to build because they require collaboration across teams and the integration of data, tools, and services. Data engineers use data warehouses, data lakes, and analytics tools to load, transform, clean, and aggregate data. Data scientists use notebook environments (such as JupyterLab) to create predictive models for different target segments. However, building advanced data-driven applications poses several challenges. First, it can be time consuming for users to learn multiple services’ development experiences. Se…

Today, AWS announces that Amazon Bedrock now supports prompt caching. Prompt caching is a new capability that can reduce costs by up to 90% and latency by up to 85% for supported models by caching frequently used prompts across multiple API calls. It allows you to cache repetitive inputs and avoid reprocessing context, such as long system prompts and common examples that help guide the model’s response. When cache is used, fewer computing resources are needed to generate output. As a result, not only can we process your request faster, but we can also pass along the cost savings from using fewer resources. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that offers a choice …
