SageMaker and AWS Glue, making it simpler and faster for Data Science and
Engineering teams to create, deploy, monitor, and iterate on machine learning (ML)
workflows. Using Step Functions, you can automate ML workflows by connecting and
coordinating multiple Amazon SageMaker jobs and AWS services in minutes—without
code.
• AWS Step Functions + Workflow Automation
– You can now use AWS Step Functions to automate workflows that start jobs on AWS
Batch, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and AWS Fargate; store and retrieve
data payloads on Amazon DynamoDB; and post messages to Amazon SNS and Amazon
SQS. These new integrations make workflows faster to build, simpler to secure, and
easier to monitor.

Analytics
• AWS Lake Formation

business and customer needs in real time. In addition to writing SQL queries to analyze streaming data, developers can now
build sophisticated Java applications using built-in capabilities for common processing functions to organize, transform,
aggregate, and analyze data at any scale.
• Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka
– Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka is a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to build and run applications that
use Apache Kafka to process streaming data. You do not need Kafka infrastructure management expertise, so you spend less
time managing infrastructure and more time building streaming applications.

Blockchain
• Amazon Managed Blockchain
– Amazon Managed Blockchain is a fully managed service that makes it easy to create and
manage scalable blockchain networks using popular open source frameworks
Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum.

private data centers, or to migrate them to AWS.
• Amazon Aurora Global Database
– An Aurora Global Database spans multiple AWS Regions, with writes replicated with typical latency of <1 second using dedicated infrastructure that leaves your
database resources available entirely to serve application workloads. Applications with a worldwide footprint can use reader instances in secondary regions for low
latency reads; secondary regions can be promoted to take full read-write workloads in under a minute for disaster recovery.
• DynamoDB On-Demand
– A new billing option enabling customers to pay for only the resources they consume. The new billing option provides preconfigured throughput so workloads can
ramp instantly from zero to thousands of requests per second making DynamoDB the first database to offer the combination of internet-scale performance and a
fully managed experience with no capacity planning of servers, storage or throughput.

Developer Tools
