jesus christ six amazon articles in a day? AWS is undeniably the body of christ for HN but am i missing something? FSX, blockchain, timestream, Graviton, ground station, and cloudwatch... all of these articles are advertisements for mundane shit.

It's AWS re:Invent day/week. I've never been, but I get the impression that it's like Apple's keynote, or Google I/O, in which big product announcements are made. On those days, you'll see multiple submissions about the respective conferences too.

  This is exactly what re:Invent is. Most teams dream of launching a new AWS product at re:Invent (and not missing their date and launching at a later time)

    It'd be an interesting blog post topic to look at how AWS:Invent (or I/O, or F8, etc) product threads on HN compare to actual product impact. I remember Rekognition getting decent discussion 2 years ago [0], but not along the angles or magnitude of how Rekognition is usually discussed in recent months. OTOH, other things I've been interested in as a data geek, I've barely heard of since reading about them on HN -- e.g. Athena [1] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13072956 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13072956 [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13072245 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13072245

There will be a lot more. The keynote today still has an hour left, and there is two more hours of keynotes tomorrow. (Written from keynote floor)

  Where can I see your keynote-notes/updates?
  - jedberg 8y ago
    I don’t usually do that, I just share my thoughts as comments on HN. There’s enough people doing that other stuff. :)

> all of these articles are advertisements for mundane shit What do you think hacker news is supposed to be? Anything that isn't mundane to a lot of people isn't interesting enough for those in the target audience. Amazon is having its annual AWS conference and thus has a lot of announcements, of course they have a lot of new niche products.
