AWS recently introduced S3 Files, which lets users mount an Amazon S3 bucket and access its data through a standard file system interface. Applications can read and write files using standard file operations, while the system automatically translates them into S3 requests, allowing compute services to work directly with data stored in S3.

Dany Lepage discusses the architectural journey of porting a hit VR title to seven non-VR platforms. He explains how his team solved the challenges of cross-progression, diverse input paradigms, and maintaining release velocity across Steam, iOS, and PlayStation. Beyond the tech, he shares candid lessons on the "product fit" gap when translating immersive social presence to 2D screens.

Software platforms must be treated as products. Success requires balancing engineering, design, usability, security, and value for internal customers and the organisation, Abby Bangser mentioned in her talk Platform as a Product. A product mindset, clear ownership, and continuous investment prevent bottlenecks, platform decay, and wasted effort, enabling scalable, sustainable value over time.
