re:Invent arrived, and with it came a lot of announcements. Some meh, some good, some great. In this episode Arjen, Jean-Manuel, Guy, and special guest star Rob will do their best to make sense of it. Or maybe they just make it more confusing? Who knows? Our brains can't really handle the number of announcements. Which is probably also why it took far too long to edit this episode.
