  • Evolving Lambda: from ephemeral compute to durable execution

    Evolving Lambda: from ephemeral compute to durable execution
    Mar 4 2026
    In this episode, Romain sits down with Michael Gasch, Product Manager at AWS for Lambda Durable Functions, to explore one of the most exciting launches in the Serverless space in recent years. Michael shares the full story: from the early days of Lambda and the evolution of the serverless developer experience, to the challenges developers face when building multi-step, stateful workflows — and how Durable Functions addresses them natively within Lambda. Discover the evolution of AWS Serverless and why last year was 'the year of Lambda', key launches including IDE integrations, Lambda Managed Instances, and Lambda Tenant Isolation. Learn what Lambda Durable Functions are and what they are not, the checkpoint-replay model and how it enables resilient, long-running executions, and wait patterns including simple wait, wait for callback, and wait for condition. Explore real-world use cases: distributed transactions, LLM inference orchestration, ECS task coordination, and human-in-the-loop workflows. Michael shares unexpected feedback from customers about architectural simplification, how coding agents like Kiro dramatically accelerate writing Durable Functions, and when to choose Durable Functions vs. Step Functions vs. SQS/SNS. Plus, what's coming next: more regions, and the Java SDK (now available!).

  • Mike Chambers: From OpenClaw to AI Functions — What's Next for Agentic Development

    Mike Chambers: From OpenClaw to AI Functions — What's Next for Agentic Development
    Feb 25 2026
    Mike Chambers is back — calling in from the other side of the globe — and he brought a lot to unpack. We pick up threads from our first conversation and follow them into genuinely exciting (and occasionally mind-bending) territory. We start with OpenClaw, the open-source agentic framework that took the developer world by storm. Mike shares his take on why it happened now — not just what it is — and why the timing was almost inevitable given how developers had been quietly experimenting with local agents for the past year. Then we go deep on asynchronous tool calling — a project Mike has been working on since mid-2024 that finally works reliably, thanks to more capable models. The idea: let your agent kick off a long-running task, keep the conversation going naturally, and have the result arrive without interrupting the flow. Mike walks through how he built this on top of Strands Agents SDK and why he's planning to propose it as a contribution to the open-source project. We also explore Strands Labs and its freshly released AI Functions — a genuinely new way to think about embedding generative capability directly into application code. Is this Software 3.1? Mike makes the case, and Romain pushes back in the best way. The episode closes with a look ahead: agent trust, observability with OpenTelemetry, and a thought experiment about what software might look like in five years if the execution environment itself becomes a model.

  • Chris Miller on AI Coding, Multi-Agent Systems, and the Silicon Valley Vibe

    Chris Miller on AI Coding, Multi-Agent Systems, and the Silicon Valley Vibe
    Feb 18 2026
    Join us for an engaging conversation with Chris Miller, an AWS Hero since 2021 and AI Software Engineer at Workato. Chris shares his journey from accidentally winning a DeepRacer competition to becoming a community leader in the San Francisco Bay Area. We dive deep into the realities of AI-assisted development, exploring multi-agent architectures, the Road to re:Invent hackathon experience, and what it's really like to be building in Silicon Valley's AI boom. Discover how Chris moved from DeepRacer champion to AWS Hero and community leader, his experience building a multi-agent imposter architecture featuring Jeff Barr, Swami, and Werner Vogels for the Road to re:Invent Hackathon, and the reality of moving beyond 'vibe coding' to responsible AI development. Learn about multi-agent orchestration patterns, token management, recursion limits, and the current state of AI development in San Francisco. Chris shares insights on developer tools like Kiro, the Strands framework, autonomous agents, and best practices for code review, testing, and transparency in AI-generated code. Whether you're exploring AI-assisted development, building multi-agent systems, or curious about the Silicon Valley AI scene, this conversation offers practical insights from the trenches.
