""Normally, this sort of activity might take a team of 40 people about a year to carefully build. Instead, the Bedrock team spun up a separable group of six very skilled engineers who were excited about starting over and building on our agentic coding service (Kiro), and delivered this new engine (which we call 'Mantle') in 76 days.""

Andy Jassy's letter to shareholders highlights the advantages of small teams at Amazon, particularly in the development of Amazon Bedrock. He notes that a small group of six engineers was able to deliver a new engine in just 76 days, a task that would typically require a larger team and more time. Jassy also reflects on the changing nature of work, suggesting that many traditional roles may become unnecessary due to advancements in AI. The letter comes amid significant layoffs and a need for a more efficient workforce structure.
