At Amazon, we are heavily invested in machine learning (ML), and are developing new tools to help developers quickly and easily build, train, and deploy ML models. The power of ML is in its ability to unlock a new set of capabilities that create value for consumers and businesses. A great example of this is the way we are using ML to deal with one of the world's biggest and most tangled datasets: human speech.

Earlier this month I had written a tutorial for detecting nearby BLE iBeacon devices using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an application written with Golang. It was a great example of accomplishing something with Go and very little code. Scanning for BLE devices is a great use case for Internet of Things (IoT) devices like the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and Golang isn’t the only great language around.

I recently got back from London where I was presenting at QCon. Typically I enjoy single-track events more than multi-track events, but QCon did an impressive job of curating the talks. Each track is curated by the track hosts and speakers are all given the opportunity to take advantage of mentoring. They even had a process in place so that speakers could give a preview of their talk to other speakers and conference staff for feedback in the weeks before the event.

AWS announced a new service?—?the Serverless Application Repository (SAR)?—?at re:Invent 2017. The general goal of SAR is to make it easier to distribute, and consume, applications that have been developed using AWS Serverless products, like Lambda. It was launched to the public in February and I’ve been digging into it since. This article describes what SAR is (and isn’t), examples of SAR in the wild, and some limitations and ‘gotchas’ of SAR.

For customers who use LUX, it provides a place to create custom charts that combine metrics from synthetic and RUM. We just added some new RUM metrics from LUX in Favorites to allow for even more customized monitoring: Page Views – The number of page views, including Single-Pag
