AWS Insights and Optimizations is a group of engineers who like problems that sit between large-scale data processing and customer-facing APIs, and we are unusually close to the outcome of our work, because we can measure it in savings customers actually realized. We are among the more fastest-moving adopters of generative AI in AWS cloud financial management, in the product and in how we build and operate it. We care about operational excellence, we write things down, and we would rather have the hard architectural conversation early than live with the shortcut for three years.
The charter is expanding and there is real room to shape it.
