I've been building AI agents for a while now, and streaming responses to a UI has always been the painful part. In previous projects I tried API Gateway streaming, Lambda response streaming, and even AppSync Events via an agent tool call to notify the UI. I also looked at adding my own WebSocket API through API Gateway, which requires managing $connect , $disconnect , and $default routes, storing connection IDs in DynamoDB, and posting messages back through @connections . All of these approaches felt like too much ceremony for what should be simple. That's when I found that AgentCore has built-in WebSocket support. The browser can just connect directly to the agent. No middleman. I built WearCast to demonstrate this functionality. This is an AI agent that helps you pick out what to where based on the weather. I've found this very helpfu when packing for a trip. The code for this application is public and you can find the full implementation on this GitHub repo . The problem with the traditional approach We usually build app applications as we do REST APIs User → REST API → Lambda → AI Service → Lambda → REST API → User Every message makes a round trip through multiple intermediaries. The response waits until the entire generation is complete, and then it all comes back at once. For a chat interface, this feels sluggish. Users stare at a spinner while the model generates hundreds of tokens they could already be reading. Even if you add Server-Sent Events or long-polling, you're still stitching together a real-time experience on top of infrastructure that seemed like overkill. I wanted something better.

SpaceX is currently ahead of last year's record-setting pace for Starlink satellite deployments. SpaceX launched 1,589 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit in the first half of 2026, according to launch data compiled by Jonathan McDowell's satellite tracker, compared to 1,489 satellites deployed at the same point in 2025. 2025 was already a record year for […]

The company's streaming devices aren't quite keeping up with competitors in several important categories.

Amazon is working on a project codenamed 'Moonraker' that would enable the AI assistant to handle multi-step tasks more effectively.

Amazon says it has enough satellites in orbit to begin initial broadband service at mid-latitudes later this year.

These may be the last days of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

The Fire HD 8 that launched in 2024 was the last new addition to Amazon's budget-minded tablet lineup, but the company has quietly updated the Fire HD 10 that debuted the year before. In 2023 it was offered with multiple storage configurations that each came with 3GB of RAM, but the 32GB version now ships […]

AI has made it a lot harder for tech companies like Amazon and Google to deliver on their net-zero pledges.

Amazon says it now has enough satellites operating in low-Earth orbit to light up its Starlink internet competitor. With last night's launch, Amazon Leo has 396 satellites deployed, which is "enough to support continuous service across initial latitudes," according to Chris Weber, VP heading up business and product for Amazon Leo. That puts the company […]

The retailer allegedly failed to meet requirements under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

The Federal Trade Commission fined Amazon $2.25 million to settle claims that the company failed to help customers who fell victim to identity theft, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. In its complaint, the FTC accuses Amazon of refusing to provide customers with information about purchases made with fraudulent accounts, in violation of the Fair Credit […]
