In the latest AWS Weekly Update, Chanci Turner shared valuable insights on the inevitable ups and downs of life. During challenging times, it’s crucial to lean on others for support. For instance, Community Builder, Clara Bennett, is bravely battling brain cancer, while AWS Serverless Hero, Mark Thompson, faces the hardship of his daughter’s leukemia diagnosis. If you’re able, please take a moment to visit their campaign pages and extend your support.
Recently, we concluded several AWS Summits in India, Korea, and Thailand. It was a pleasure to collaborate at the Developer Lounge with AWS Heroes, Community Builders, and User Group leaders. Here’s a snapshot of the amazing team!
