I am not sure about https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908225434%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21293649588890%21p%21%21g%21%21cognito&sc_campaign=acquisition_USsc_publisher%3Dgoogle&sc_category=Security&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=cognito_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=cognito&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=ACQ-P%257CPS-GO%257CNon-Brand%257CDesktop%257CSU%257CSecurity%257CCognito%257CUS%257CEN%257CText&sc_segment=293649588890.3:56 – https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908225434%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21293649588890%21p%21%21g%21%21cognito&sc_campaign=acquisition_USsc_publisher%3Dgoogle&sc_category=Security&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=cognito_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=cognito&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=ACQ-P%257CPS-GO%257CNon-Brand%257CDesktop%257CSU%257CSecurity%257CCognito%257CUS%257CEN%257CText&sc_segment=293649588890 5:06 – What are the other manage cloud services that companies want to offer through the tools you have?5:12 – Nader answers AJ’s question.7:30 – Can you give me more specifics on the storage solutions you are offering?8:03 – Nader answers AJ’s question. People store websites there for example. Frontend developers are using S3 buckets, and they are using the library, which is a storage solution.9:10 – AJ and Nader are having a dialogue between different situations, and Nader is giving the solutions to those hypothetical situations.10:17 – AJ: “I am interested in what you are talking about https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/. Can you tell me how that works?” AJ is picking Nader’s brain about how https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/ works.11:05 – Nader: “It is a single API layer for a point of entry. You can have multi-data sources.” Nader continues, in detail, answering AJ’s question.12:36 – AJ: As a frontend developer, it sounds like I will have to become familiar with the backend, too. How is it providing the most value? What is it that I do not have to touch, because I am using this?15:37 – How would these relations work? As a frontend developer, and I do not want to learn sequel, how would that might look like; currently or in the future? How do you extract that knowledge?16:18 – Yes, it is not an easy solution to solve. Nader goes into detail about how he would approach this situation.18:26 – AJ: Are these resolvers written in https://www.javascript.com?22:04 – Acronym fun!22:45 – https://nodejs.org/en/ 23:51 – Summarizing these pasts 20-some-minutes: Off-Storage, https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/,https://sites.google.com/site/landismodel/developers, and others are what people are using Amplify for. New Question/New Topic: Simplify.25:45 – https://aws.amazon.com/mobile/ – is not mobile specific.26:44 – If you are using https://angular.io, we have a plugin in https://angular.io to help you. We also have that for React and https://vuejsdevelopers.com as well.27:52 – https://sentry.io/welcome/ 28:56 – What should we be talking about?29:04 – Let’s talk about Amazon’s Lex, https://aws.amazon.com/lex/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908230815%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21209039218013%21p%21%21g%21%21amazon%2520chatbot&sc_campaign=lex_2017&sc_category=lex&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=chatbot_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=amazon%2520chatbot&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=awns_lex_b&sc_publisher=google&sc_segment=209039218013. Nader goes into full detail of this service.33:52 – https://www.apple.com/tv/ 34:00 – AJ: Sounds like this is more platform/ more agnostic than getting different things to come together, and the Microsoft one is more hybrid and the Amazon one is more open?35:13 – Joe, let’s go back to what you had to ask.35:28 – Nader, you talked about https://www.biznessapps.com/blog/what-is-a-push-notification/ earlier. What is https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/overview?36:30 – Is this like traditional hooks? Or custom?37:25 – What is the “stuff” that gets you up in the morning and gets you excited to go to work at AWS?38:40 – Nader: I really had no desire to change career paths, but it happened.41:30 – AJ: I totally agree with the idea in that finding the common patterns, so that way someone on the lower-level can participate. AJ wants a platform that is open or purchase that can offer some of these benefits. It could be open-source or you used to buy the different tools.43:27 AJ: What about for the hobbyist?43:40 – Nader: I agree, that would be really nice. I can’t think of any free services that would be nice.44:03 AJ – Not free in “free,” but “free” towards the idea of “free speech.” They would all be available and you get to choose what works well for you.45:00 – SHOUTOUT to LISTENERS: Have an idea about this? Shoot the panel an e-mail!45:33 – Hopefully this opens the listeners’ eyes to what’s out there.45:48 – Cloud services.46:55 – Innovation follows niche markets. When something gets big and established, innovation comes to a plateau. The innovation will develop in a new economic area like hydraulics. AJ thinks a niche will develop.49:03 – Is there anything, Dabit, which you would like to talk about?49:15 – Can we talk about https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-technical-content/latest/aws-overview/artificial-intelligence-services.html?51:10 – Nader saw a demonstration recently.52:26 – Hearing these implications is so cool, but when it comes to ML a panelist dabbled a little bit. He watched some videos, unless you want to devote a year or two to learning it then it’s too complex to put together. Do you have to be genius-level to get through?53:29 – ML you are passing data. Nader is not quite sure.56:00 Nader just did a blog post  check-it-out!56:49 – Let’s do Picks!56:50 – https://www.digitalocean.com/ Links:
