AWS is tech stack-agnostic, period. But it doesn't mean engineers in Amazon didn't do anything to improve Developer eXperience (DX) for JVM programmers around the globe. Let's make the rounds and review all the major QoL improvements & JVM-specific hints you should be aware of (if you deploy your Java/Kotlin/Scala/Groovy/... apps into the cloud). Some of the topics covered: Powertools for AWS Lambda (Java), SnapStart for Lambda (& other cold-start optimizations), runtime hooks (with CRaC) for Lambda, serverless Java with GraalVM, what's in AWS Toolkit & AWS SDKs, Java on Graviton, Q Code Transformation (with OpenRewrite), CodeWhisperer & Java, what's Corretto, Java on serverless containers with App Runner, JVM apps observability on AWS, CDK with Java, integration for popular web frameworks (Spring, Micronaut, Quarkus).
