Sure, AWS DevOps Agent just went GA, but we added a bunch of features at the same time, including Custom Skills, Learned Skills, Code Indexing - just to name a few! This video shows the new flexible On-Demand SRE Tasks in action.
More in the blog! aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/ann...
✍🎉 We just published lessons from taking AWS DevOps Agent from prototype to preview at re:Invent 2025:

The post focuses on durable mechanisms for building agentic AI products, hope this helps others!
Yay! #AWS DevOps Agent got announced 🎉 I have been working on this multi-agent system for the past few months. In particular, I focused on the incident response capability & surfacing useful information to help repair apps built on AWS.
I would love if you give it a spin and hear your feedback!
Can I retrieve partial results while a task's status is still "working"?
This would potentially enable a flow where the client (requestor) can cancel a task early if the partial results are good enough.
It bothers me to no extent that the media plays how Klarna whistles
Klarna wants to the headlines to say "AI-enabled Klarna"
It would have halved its workforce without AI because it overhired 2x in 2020-21 and never corrected till now
But this is how they get front pages
Is 10pm on a Sunday a good time to post about your new tech blog? www.efekarakus.com/2025/09/21/l...
Here are some basic thoughts if you are on a team vending functionality for AI agent builders
Confounding that we have the simultaneous narratives of "AI will replace your jobs for 1/10th the price" in parallel with "there just are not enough people to build fast enough, we need you to work 80% harder."
Also, it was exactly the same 15 years ago except replace AI with "outsourcing."

Great talk about avoiding rewrite trap by @skamille.themanagerswrath.com at @leaddev.com #LDX3, and my favourite: "The Computers are not your stakeholders" 👏

I’m really enjoying sketch.dev’s blog posts on agentic AI development https://sketch.dev/blog/push-pull-respond-restart
Product evals are misunderstood. Many teams think that adding another tool, metric, or llm-as-judge will solve all their problems and save their product. But that just dodges the hard truth and avoids the real work. Here's how to fix your process instead.

New blog post with thoughts on the promotion process and growth for senior engineers: efekarakus.com/2025/04/12/o...
None became massive homeruns for a multitude of reasons, but the teams behind them loved pushing an *unreasonable* amount for better CX, and customers could feel it too.
The products I'm proudest of are those where I had both the support and interest to put in way more effort than required to improve customer experience (www.efekarakus.com/2021/02/04/h...).
Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara is one of the most inspiring management books I read recently 😍. It helped me pin down the perfect term: “being unreasonable” for what I enjoy doing most at work. a.co/d/d0NH6hb

I really enjoyed Poor Charlie’s Almanack (a.co/d/0DBK4qg). My favorite talk, which summarizes most of the content in the book, is also available on YouTube: youtu.be/lqqRzNC3QyU
