Introducing AWS Builder Center: A new home for the AWS builder community

We really love builders at AWS. We’re constantly thinking of new ways to help technical communities thrive and create spaces like AWS Developer Center and community.aws where people can connect and share their knowledge and experiences.

Today, we’re announcing AWS Builder Center, a new home for builders to access all builder resources, engage with the AWS community, and provide feedback or product suggestions to AWS product teams. This new experience also integrates the previous AWS Developer Center and community.aws.

There are a variety of exciting features so let us discover some of them.

Your voice matters: Introducing Wishlist
One of the most exciting new features, in my opinion, is Wishlist. You can now submit your wishes for new features or improvements you’d like to see in AWS services. Others can discover and vote on these wishes while also creating their own.

You can influence product roadmap collectively as a community and help us shape the future of AWS services. You can share ideas, suggestions, feature proposals, or challenges while operating AWS services, with the ability for the AWS community to upvote ideas and highlight the most sought-after improvements. Our internal teams will keep an eye on these and bring the most popular wishes to the attention of our service teams, making your voice an integral part of our product development process.

Connect people in the AWS community
On the Connect page, you’ll find many opportunities to connect directly with AWS Heroes and AWS Community Builders. You can explore and join AWS User Groups and AWS Cloud Clubs near your cities around the world.

On top of that, you can bookmark this page as your centralized hub for finding upcoming community events, making it easy to find opportunities to learn and network in your local area and meet like-minded builders who share your interests.

Speaking of following people, AWS Builder Center makes it really straightforward to connect and engage with others, serving as the central hub for the AWS technical community. It brings together all the different ways that you can connect with fellow builders. For example, the Who to Follow section introduces you to AWS Heroes, Community Builders, and active community members who are sharing their knowledge and expertise in your areas of interest.

Explore our AWS hands-on resources
On the Build page, you’ll discover ways to get familiar with AWS with hands-on experience such as interactive learning resources designed for every skill level such as AWS Tutorials and AWS Workshops. You can explore generative AI and agentic AI services playground and find the AWS Free Tier to try out AWS services free of charge up to specified limits for each service.

Choose the Toolbox page and discover the latest tools, programming language resources, and Open Source projects for AWS. The Toolbox has everything you need to get your project scaffolded and up and running.

To improve the build experience for builders, we plan to expand Builder Center’s built-in offerings such as creating dedicated groups and forums for collaborating on a particular topic, run workshops for hands-on labs, and various service playgrounds where builders can freely experiment with AWS services.

Supporting your builder journey
The new Learn section serves as your gateway to skill development, bringing together everything you need to expand your AWS expertise. Here, you can explore learning and training resources, workshops, gamified experiences, and more to make your journey of building on AWS both educational and engaging.

Choose the Topics page, where you can explore and discover more content. You can explore content by topics and tags. There is a featured and trending topics section that helps you to stay connected with what’s capturing the community’s attention right now.

Built-in localization for your spoken language
AWS Builder Center breaks down language barriers with comprehensive localization support. All content published in the Builder Center is automatically available in 16 languages, and user-generated content, such as posts, comments, or wishes, can be machine-translated on demand using Translate. So, you can collaborate with builders worldwide, sharing knowledge and experiences across language boundaries.

By default, all content will be displayed in based on the language that your browser is set to. But, you can override this by visiting the settings page and choosing the language that you want AWS Builder Center to use by default.

Sign up and build your profile now
AWS Builder Center gives you a more personalized and comprehensive way to showcase your AWS journey. Your unique profile comes with a custom URL and shareable QR code, making it straightforward to connect with others and share your presence in the AWS community.

All your posts, wishes, and meaningful interactions are organized within a centralized view so you can easily check them. In the Manage profile page, you can customize your profile, add specific interests and areas of expertise, helping you connect with builders who share your passions. Profile management is seamless: it synchronizes across all AWS services using AWS Builder ID, ensuring your identity remains consistent wherever you engage with AWS offerings.

Visit builder.aws.com, sign up with AWS Builder ID, and claim your unique alias to access all features, including content creation, Wishlist, and community engagement tools.

AWS Builder Center was designed to help you connect, learn, and build with fellow AWS builders, so enjoy your journey together!
