As we head into 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣, thought I’d share something that might help if you’re building on AWS.
Almost a year ago, I was selected as an AWS Community Builder. https://lnkd.in/gDDwKE5j
What stood out most: the program isn't about posting everywhere or chasing visibility - it's about being consistent with what you build, learn, and share.
In practice, that means:
- Building and learning at your own pace
- Focusing on understanding, not just outcomes
- Sharing learnings that are practical and honest
Yes, there are benefits:
- $500 AWS Credits - freedom to experiment, learn, and build without cost being the first constraint
- Free certification vouchers - validate skills you're already applying
- Premium learning access - valuable if used with intent
- Direct access to AWS experts and teams - practical conversations and feedback
- Exclusive events, early access, and yes… swag
But the real value is the people - builders who are practical, curious, and open about what worked (and what didn't).
If you're already building on AWS, documenting what you learn, or helping others in small but meaningful ways - you're already aligned with what this program looks for.
