You can now customize the timeout value for API integrations in Amazon API Gateway. You can set the maximum amount of time an integration will run before it returns without a response. This gives you the flexibility to create better error-handling strategies for your APIs, such as using automatic retries with your APIs. You can set a timeout value starting at 50 milliseconds up to 29 seconds. Visit the documentation for more information about API Gateway integrations. 

We are excited to announce a significant change to AWS IoT pricing that will go into effect January 1, 2018. Previously, AWS IoT charged for the use of connectivity, messaging, Device Shadow, Registry, and Rules Engine under a bundled pricing plan. The new plan unbundles pricing by charging for these components independently. This allows you to tailor costs around your specific workload, and ensures you only pay for what you use.

The new Amazon Kinesis management console (see screenshot below) makes it easy for you to learn about real-time analytics and simplifies the console user experience. You can use the new visual learning tools in the console to understand how Kinesis Streams, Kinesis Firehose, and Kinesis Analytics can help you stream real-time data from various data sources to AWS, and then process, analyze, and load the data to data stores. The new console experience also includes a dashboard showing all your Kinesis resources on one screen when you log in. To get started, visit the Amazon Kinesis management console . 

AWS CloudFormation now allows you to override parameter values by account and region in stack instances. Previously, you could only make changes to StackSets from your original CloudFormation templates. Now, you can override template parameter values when you first create the stack instances, and you can override parameter values for existing stack instances allowing you to specify and customize stack instances based on your requirements.  

Starting today, AWS Mobile adds first class support for Web and React Native, allowing JavaScript (JS) developers to easily develop cloud enabled apps. Previously, web and react native developers needed to manually configure services in the AWS console, download base SDKs, and read documentation just to start interacting with the platform. With today’s launch, JS developers can very easily configure core app features like user sign-in, storage and serverless APIs using the redesigned console and the new AWS Mobile CLI.

Today we are releasing AWS Amplify, an Open Source library under Apache 2.0 for developers looking to build cloud connected applications with JavaScript on web or mobile platforms. AWS Amplify is designed to give a declarative interface to client developers looking to perform common actions using cloud services in a scalable and secure manner. These new capabilities allow developers writing JavaScript applications to programmatically apply best practices with common abstractions, ultimately resulting in faster development cycles. Along with the release of AWS Amplify, we are also releasing a comprehensive CLI experience which is fully integrated with AWS Mobile Hub. This CLI experience is designed for developers who are either building applications from scratch or enhancing existing projects with features for the AWS cloud.
