David Behroozi, a 15-year Amazon veteran, tells us the inception story of Amazon Cognito and the cheat code for succeeding at AWS.

He also gave us a demo of Speedrun, his latest project since leaving Amazon. It turns your GitHub markdown into executable blocks of code that remember your context (e.g. AWS account and region) so your runbook can be executed right from the markdown.

I recommend watching the episode on YouTube so you can see the full demo: https://youtu.be/nhWYlzb8mSA
