#753: Amazon Bedrock Mantle and Developing at the Speed of AI
In this episode, Simon speaks with Joe Magerramov (VP & Distinguished Engineer) to explore the transformative impact of AI-assisted coding on software development workflows. Joe shares his team's real-world experience achieving a 10x increase in code throughput using agentic development, but warns that simply bolting AI agents onto existing practices is like "adding a turbocharger to a car with narrow tires and old brakes." We dive deep into the critical infrastructure changes needed to sustain high-velocity development, including the mathematics of bug probability at scale, innovative testing approaches inspired by aviation industry practices, and the evolution of CI/CD pipelines that can handle dozens of commits per hour rather than per day. The conversation reveals why the biggest opportunity isn't just writing more code faster, but using AI to make previously impractical engineering practices economically viable—from comprehensive end-to-end testing with fake dependencies to rapid feedback loops that prevent the entire development pipeline from grinding to a halt when issues arise. https://blog.joemag.dev/2025/10/the-new-calculus-of-ai-based-coding.html
#752: Modernizing SAP with AWS
Discover how customer are leveraging AWS to modernize SAP systems. Tushar Srivastava (Principal Account Manager) talks about the role SAP plays in an enterprise, the modernization challenges faced by customers and how AWS helps in that modernization journey. Through the conversation we will learn about the options that exist and how can customers make smart choices and leverage all that AWS has to offer in the context of SAP systems.

#743: The Frugal Architect w/ Werner Vogels: The Ocean Cleanup's mantra: Start simple and iterate relentlessly
When Boyan Slat found more plastic than fish on a dive in Greece, he asked a simple question: "Why can't we just clean this up?" He was 16. What began as a humble project funded with pocket money has grown into a global initiative, removing millions of pounds of plastic from the world's rivers and oceans in the last decade. But simple questions don't always have simple solutions. As Boyan will tell you, simplicity is hard. Fight the temptation attack the biggest problem first. Relentlessly iterate. And most importantly, let your mission, not the technology, guide your engineering decisions. Read more from Boyan on thefrugalarchitect.com
