Kendra has released a Dropbox connector. There are many businesses that rely heavily on Dropbox, and with this new connector, these businesses will be able to easily search their data. This is a welcome announcement. Our only issue with Kendra is that it is a bit expensive for a solo-developer to experiment with. If there was a serverless Kendra, or a developer-tier Kendra, that would be great.

has announced a queue dashboard. This is good news and the dashboard, most likely implemented in QuickSight, promises to provide the key metrics that you would want in a queue. We would have appreciated if this article included a screenshot and a bit more of a discussion. Hence, the 4/5 clouds.

SAM Connectors are really neat. The main idea is that in your SAM Template, you can simply specify a source and destination, and SAM will generate the proper policy which allows the source to talk to the destination.

There are many different types of sources and destinations, and the master list is available here:
https://ayr.app/l/SZmk

We have put together a demo of using SAM Connectors here:
https://ayr.app/l/rWDx

The easiest way to give this a try is with DevSpaces.
Head over to https://ayr.app/l/7mgQ/ to launch a Graviton3-based cloud development environment.
