The AWS Developers Podcast

In this episode, Dave and Emily chat with Srinivas Iragavarapu, Sr. SDM for

Amazon CodeWhisperer. Designed to improve developer productivity, Amazon CodeWhisperer

provides machine learning (ML)–powered code recommendations to accelerate development of C#,

Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript applications. The service integrates with multiple

integrated development environments (IDEs), including JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and

WebStorm), Visual Studio Code, AWS Cloud9, and the AWS Lambda console, and helps developers

write code faster by generating entire functions and logical blocks of code—often consisting

of more than 10–15 lines of code. Srinivas discusses the recent re:Invent 2022 developer

preview launch, how the team built Code Whisperer, and how developers can take advantage of

the service today.

In this episode, Emily and Dave chat with Tarun Rai Madan, Sr. Product Manager

for AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda SnapStart for Java offers up to 10x faster function startup

performance at no extra cost. Lambda SnapStart is a performance optimization that makes it

easier for you to build highly responsive and scalable Java applications using AWS Lambda,

without having to provision resources or spend time and effort implementing complex

performance optimizations. Tarun walks us through what this new feature means for

developers, how the Lambda team was able to create such improved performance, and how

developers can enable it today.
