AWS pre:Invent 2025 — The Season AWS Quietly Turns Up the Volume
A builder’s guide to the announcements shaping the next wave of AWS services, from Nova to Q Developer/Kiro.
There’s no official banner that says Welcome to pre:Invent, but you know it when it starts. For me, it was around September 30th — the day announcements started coming in hot and heavy.
As of 23rd November, AWS has quietly dropped 560 updates. That’s not marketing fluff. That’s real features, real services, and a lot of “Wait—when did that get announced?”
UPDATE: At the time of publishing the number of updates had risen to over 600
One of the earliest surprises?
CodeCommit emerged from the dead.
Not just patched — revived. And suddenly, AWS’s developer story started feeling different. Especially with Kiro going GA and Q Developer updates waiting in the wings.
