AWS Summit NYC 2025: Laser-Focused on AI
Blog post from Honeycomb
AWS Summits are annual conferences where new products and technologies are announced, with the 2025 theme focusing heavily on AI. The New York Summit highlighted AWS' commitment to AI with their Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a foundational set of APIs and services designed to enable Agentic AI securely and scalably. This includes a serverless runtime for executing tasks, isolated data environments, and a CodeInterpreter for writing and running code in popular languages. AWS also introduced support for vector storage querying in S3 and showcased their Kira IDE and Amazon Q for enhanced development practices. Thomson Reuters presented their use of AWS Transform for platform migrations, emphasizing empowerment rather than developer replacement. Honeycomb MCP, now available on the AWS Marketplace, offers advanced data analysis capabilities, while Anthropic's talk on Claude Code highlighted the evolution of AI agents from assistants to collaborators. The summit illustrated a clear shift towards AI as a fundamental part of software development, with AWS positioning its offerings to support this transition.
