Amazon EventBridge Schema Registry now adds support for JSON Schema, allowing customers to validate, annotate, and manipulate JSON documents conforming to JSON Schema Draft 4 specification. You now have access to more specifications when creating schemas and can use JSON Schema to create strongly typed events. You can also implement use cases such as client-side validation using a JSON Schema validator before publishing events on the EventBridge bus. 

Amazon Textract is a fully managed machine learning service that makes it easy to extract text and data from virtually any document. Amazon Textract offers you both synchronous and asynchronous APIs to choose based on the fit for each use case. With the asynchronous APIs, you can retrieve the extracted information using the GetDocumentTextDetection or the GetDocumentAnalysis APIs. Today, we are introducing an additional option to direct the Textract output to your own Amazon S3 buckets. With this new option, you can specify the Amazon S3 bucket name, and also a prefix to be added to the output file. You can still choose to use the Get APIs if you prefer. This new Amazon S3 output option provides you with greater flexibility to integrate Amazon Textract into your broader technical architectures. 

AWS CodeBuild is now available in the Europe (Milan) Region. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild scales continuously and processes multiple builds concurrently, so your builds are not left waiting in a queue. You can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. With CodeBuild, you are charged by the minute for the compute resources you use. 

With AWS Launch Wizard, you can now easily deploy SQL Server Always On availability groups on Ubuntu Server, making it easier for you to run SQL Server workloads on free Linux-based operating systems, without the need to buy Windows Server licenses.

Amazon Connect has reduced telephony costs for North America instances calling Canada by 63% and receiving calls from United Kingdom and Germany up to 60%.  

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports Multi-AZ support for Amazon RDS for SQL Server in the AWS US West (Northern California) Region. This new high availability option leverages the SQL Server Database Mirroring (DBM) or Always On Availability Groups (AGs) technology.

Rohm recently introduced a low-power 600V-tolerant zero-crossing detection chip, intended to cut energy wastage in home appliances by reducing sense current through the high voltage monitoring connections. As well as detecting the mains zero crossing waveform, certain versions offer a buffered dc output voltage proportional to the mains dc link voltage. Called BM1ZxxxFJ, the series …

Diodes has entered the precision low-voltage low-power op-amp fray with a dual-channel 8μV(typ) input offset voltage device consuming 12μA quiescent per amplifier. AS2333, as it will be known,  uses chopper stabilisation which reduces drift over time and temperature. Operation is across 1.8V to 5.5V and -40°C to +125°C, and it has rail-to-rail inputs (100mV beyond rails) …
