A Conversation with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels

Modern web development faces several challenges, particularly when building scalable, maintainable, and high-performance applications. As applications grow, managing complex user interfaces, and ensuring efficient data handling and modular code structures, becomes increasingly difficult.

A common challenge in data-rich organizations is that critical context about the data is often hard to capture and even harder to keep up to date. As more people across the organization use data and data models get more complex, simply finding the right dataset can be slow and create bottlenecks.

Data visualization is increasingly important as organizations prioritize data-driven decision-making. Tools that transform complex datasets into intuitive, interpretable visualizations are arguably just as critical as the data itself. Robert Kosara is a Data Visualization Developer at Observable which is a platform for creating interactive data visualizations, and which makes extensive use of the popular D3 The post Modern Data Visualization with Robert Kosara appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Werner Vogels is the Chief Technology Officer at Amazon, where he has played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s technology vision for over two decades. Before joining Amazon in 2004, Werner was a research scientist at Cornell University where he focused on distributed systems and scalability, both of which are concepts that would later The post A Conversation with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

A key challenge with designing AI agents is that large language models are stateless and have limited context windows. This requires careful engineering to maintain continuity and reliability across sequential LLM interactions. To perform well, agents need fast systems for storing and retrieving short-term conversations, summaries, and long-term facts.

Modern software teams typically rely on a patchwork of tools to manage planning, development, feature rollout, and post-release analysis. This fragmentation is a known challenge that can create friction and slow down software development iteration. It’s especially problematic for cross-functional teams, where differences in roles, expertise, and work culture can further complicate collaboration. There is The post Empowering Cross-Functional Product Teams with Tobias Dunn-Krahn and Doug Peete appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Carbon is a programming language developed by Google as a successor to C++, and it aims to provide modern safety features while maintaining high performance. It’s designed to offer seamless interoperability with C++ while addressing shortcomings of C++ such as slow compilation times and lack of memory safety. Carbon also introduces features like a more The post Carbon and Modernizing C++ with Chandler Carruth appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Podman is an open-source container management tool that allows developers to build, run, and manage containers. Unlike Docker, it supports rootless containers for improved security and is fully compatible with standards from the Open Container Initiative, or OCI.
