Your Guide to the Developer Tools Track at AWS re:Invent 2026

AWS re:Invent 2026's Developer Tools track focuses heavily on agentic development, centered on AWS's Kiro AI coding agent. The track offers 46 sessions, with about three-quarters interactive, covering CI/CD, infrastructure as code, full-stack development, and multi-agent workflows. Highlighted sessions include DVT204 on scaling Kiro across enterprises, DVT405 on Kiro validating specs before coding, and DVT406, a 400-level workshop on autonomous development with the Kiro CLI. Attendees can also try Kiro Galaxy Run, a VR space mission experience, and visit Kiro demos at the AWS Village, Builder Zone, and Ctrl+Alt+Ship self-paced labs.

AI in Production Without a WHERE Clause

Bối cảnh triển khai AI mà không có bước review rủi ro giống như thiếu một WHERE clause trong SQL có thể dẫn đến đêm dài khắc phục sự cố. Nguyên nhân kỹ thuật nằm ở việc các model AI có thể tạo ra dữ liệu không mong muốn khi không có bộ lọc phù hợp. Hệ quả có thể rất nghiêm trọng khi hệ thống AI vô tình tạo ra nội dung độc hại, sai lệch hoặc vi phạm chính sách. Đáng học hỏi là bài nhấn mạnh việc xác định rõ vị trí của cơ chế "phanh" (brake) trong hệ thống AI và ai chịu trách nhiệm kiểm soát nó.

Bài viết này giải thích tại sao thiếu bước kiểm duyệt trong AI sản xuất có thể dẫn đến hậu quả nghiêm trọng như lỗi query SQL không có WHERE clause.

Stop Sending Tall PR Stacks

Stacked PRs are being overused and should stay the exception, not the norm, Zac Sweers argues. Small, logical commits reviewed commit by commit already make even large PRs reviewable, he says, criticizing GitHub for forcing reviews through an alphabetical files tab instead. Now that GitHub supports stacked PRs, he's seen stacks of 15 changes that must be merged serially, which multiply overhead, CI runs and code reviews by 15x. He suggests capping stack height around 5, and only for genuinely large changes.
