What Is an AWS Builder ID?

yeah... you've probably heard of an "AWS Builder ID" but you're not quite sure what it means.

I'm going to break it down nicely so you have a good idea of what it is.

You may or may not have an AWS Builder ID, if you're reading this on builder.aws.com you do 😉, but today is your chance to create one, stick around til the end.

tl;dr: One personal login (your email) for AWS tools. In the new AWS experience, it's also your AWS sign-in and billing identity. No root user or IAM user needed.


We just the launched new AWS experience this week, which makes it easier to get started with AWS.

It allows you to sign up with an email or login providers like Google, Apple, Github, and Amazon.

Once you're signed in you can create your first AWS project build the next awesome idea.

Have more ideas, make another project!

Give the new exp a try and let us what you think.

Try the new AWS experience


As always, happy coding 😎!
