🚀 Starting today, AWS lets you add warm pools to EC2 Auto Scaling groups (ASGs) that use mixed instances policies. Warm pools maintain a set of pre-initialized EC2 instances that can rapidly serve traffic, reducing scale‑out latency for workloads with lengthy initialization tasks like large disk writes or complex scripts. The capability supports manual instance type lists and attribute-based selection, and is available via the Console, SDKs, and CLI in all public AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US). Combining warm pools with instance type flexibility helps ASGs scale to their maximum size quickly while improving availability across multiple instance types.

🧰 Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports two deployment methods: direct code-zip upload and container-based deployment. Developers can use drag-and-drop code-zip uploads for rapid prototyping or opt for container images when they need custom runtime configurations and dependencies. The serverless, model-agnostic runtime is designed to scale for production while maintaining enterprise security. This capability is available across nine AWS Regions with consumption-based pricing and no upfront costs.

🔧 AWS Serverless Application Model CLI (SAM CLI) now supports Finch as an alternative to Docker for local container-based development and testing. Developers can continue to build, test, debug, and package serverless applications locally using the same SAM CLI workflows, including sam build, sam local invoke, sam local start-api, and sam local start-lambda. SAM CLI will automatically detect and use Finch when Docker is not available, and you can also set Finch explicitly as your preferred container tool. Finch is an open-source, AWS-supported project that offers an additional choice for local serverless tooling.

🧊 Cloudflare describes a new Worker sharding technique that uses a consistent hash ring to route requests to existing Worker instances across a data center, reducing cold starts. The approach trades a sub-millisecond proxy hop for far fewer expensive cold starts, improving memory efficiency and latency. The system leverages Cap'n Proto RPC to implement optimistic forwarding, lazy capabilities, and seamless context transfer for nested Worker invocations.

🚀 Eventarc Advanced is now generally available as a unified, serverless eventing platform that centralizes real-time filtering, transformation, management, and delivery for complex microservices environments. It extends Eventarc Standard with a Publish API and a central message bus built on Envoy, enabling per-message access control, multi-format payload handling (Avro, JSON, Protobuf), and built-in routing and observability. The platform is designed to simplify development with a single API while giving platform operators centralized governance, monitoring, and reliable delivery across hybrid and multi-cloud topologies.

🚀 Firestore with MongoDB compatibility is now generally available on Google Cloud. This launch lets developers run existing MongoDB drivers, code, and tools against a MongoDB-compatible API implemented on Firestore's serverless database, combining MongoDB ecosystem compatibility with Firestore’s multi-region replication, strong consistency, and pay-as-you-go pricing. New capabilities include over 200 API and query features (including $lookup and unique indexes), Firestore Studio enhancements, and Eventarc triggers for change data capture. Enterprise functions such as Point-in-Time Recovery, database cloning, and managed export/import support production and compliance workflows.
