Amazon Timestream is a fast, scalable, fully managed time series database service for IoT and operational applications that makes it easy to store and analyze trillions of events per day at 1/10th the cost of relational databases.

That’s nice


Amazon Web Services announced Lambda Layers and Lambda Runtime API, allowing ‘builders’ to bring their own language to Lambda.
