A really fulfilling element working with startups at AWS is to be able to platform our customers to share how they built or innovated their AWS architecture. Read the story of Landbay, an award-winning mortgage lender in the UK's buy-to-let market, about how they leverage GitOps standard for deploying their microservices architecture using AWS.

As it’s Earth Day, it’s important to recognise the efforts MongoDB is making in being more transparent about carbon emissions, renewable energy investments, and our commitment towards achieving net zero by 2050. Our aim is to be 100% powered by renewables by 2026, which is why we have partnerships with cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure to reduce indirect emissions and invest in a virtual power purchase agreement for renewable energy. We’ve also reengineered MongoDB Atlas to reduce power consumption by 30% and offer customers transparency tools like the Green Leaf icon to help them make sustainable choices. MongoDB is dedicated to sustainability. From our partnerships and pledges to our ongoing work in sustainable procurement – we maintain stubborn optimism when it comes to ensuring a greener future for all. #EarthDay #sustainablity #climatechange

We just acquired WarpStream at Confluent, and I couldn't be more excited! But why? There's a lot of reasons to love the Cloud, and I've seen huge successes within customers like Curve and Funding Circle UK who have jumped headfirst into Confluent Cloud, but sometimes there are challenges that end up slowing down full adoption of a fully managed service. Confluent Platform offers an alternative for hosting your own data streaming platform, but the overhead of managing this can be a burden for smaller teams. WarpStream's BYOC option will allow us to help those stuck in the middle. Whether its a sovereignty issue when deploying in a new territory, or edge deployments where an easier management saves hiring another engineer, the option to have control of your data plane while Confluent manage the system control plane will allow businesses to accelerate their adoption of a #DataStreamingPlatform across their business. There's a bright future ahead having Warpstream in the team, and we're looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced an £8billion investment in the UK over the next decade. This investment will be used to expand AWS's cloud computing infrastructure, including the construction and operation of data centres across the country. Firstly, I see this a great news for AWS customers. With an expanded cloud infrastructure, AWS can offer offer improved performance, reduced latency, and enhanced data sovereignty capabilities, empowering customers to innovate and scale more efficiently. Additionally this increased compute power gives more capacity for customers to take advantage of innovative technologies such as AI and quantum computing. Secondly, the investment demonstrates the UKs position as a leader in the rapidly evolving cloud landscape. AWSs desire to create thousands of new jobs reflects their commitment to meeting the growing demand for cloud services, supporting the UK's digital transformation. Exciting times ahead! #AWS #Cloud #Innovation
