"Dream would be that AWS lets up on the "hey guys we're not behind on AI" panic it's in and focuses on the core infrastructure that it's good at. Judging from the keynote so far it looks like that's wishful thinking."
"Non-AI topics get 10% of the keynote, but 70% of the attention on the AWS News Feed. Just sayin'."
"As generative AI reshapes how we build software, a familiar trope has re-emerged, the narrative that developers will become obsolete. But if history has taught us anything, this is not the end of the developer, it's the dawn of something new, the renaissance developer."
"A bittersweet moment to watch Werner Vogels keynote (...) Werner's keynote has been the highlight of AWS re:Invent every single year. Not only because of the amazing t-shirts, but because of the story telling and wisdom!"
AWS re:Invent 2025 foregrounded AI in keynotes while the community showed stronger interest in serverless announcements, including Lambda Managed Instances and Lambda Durable Functions. Serverless innovations attracted disproportionate attention across community channels compared with AI segments. Werner Vogels delivered a significantly shorter closing keynote after 14 years, framing a "renaissance developer" era as generative AI reshapes software development. Community reactions mixed nostalgia and critique, noting the change in keynote prominence and continuing emphasis on core infrastructure needs. The event closed with conversations about AWS priorities, developer roles, and the balance between AI marketing and infrastructure improvements.
