Today, I’m happy to announce a new capability to resolve location data for Amazon Sidewalk enabled devices with the AWS IoT Core Device Location service. This feature removes the requirement to install GPS modules in a Sidewalk device and also simplifies the developer experience of resolving location data. Devices powered by small coin cell batteries, such as smart home sensor trackers, use Sidewalk to connect. Supporting built-in GPS modules for products that move around is not only expensive, it can creates challenge in ensuring optimal battery life performance and longevity. With this launch, Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers and…

Service templates are a typical building block in the “golden paths” organisations build for their engineering teams, to make it easy to do the right thing. The templates are supposed to be the role models for all the services in the organisation, always representing the most up to date coding patterns and standards. One of the challenges with service templates though is that once a team instantiated a service with one, it’s tedious to feed template updates back to those services. Can GenAI help with that? Reference application as sample provider As part of a larger experiment that I recently…

The following originally appeared on Asimov’s Addendum and is being republished here with the author’s permission.The other day, I was looking for parking information at Dulles International Airport, and was delighted with the conciseness and accuracy of Google’s AI overview. It was much more convenient than being told that the information could be found at the flydulles.com website, visiting it, perhaps landing on the wrong page, and finding the information I needed after a few clicks. It’s also a win from the provider side. Dulles isn’t trying to monetize its website (except to the extent that it helps people choose…
