Filter the noise from AWS service updates and deprecations

Cut through the avalanche of AWS announcements to find the changes that matter

APIDrift monitors the official AWS What's New RSS feed daily, using AI to classify hundreds of monthly service updates and surface the changes that matter. AWS buries critical deprecations like Lambda runtime end-of-life dates, S3 ACL policy changes, and SDK version sunsets in a flood of region launches and feature previews. APIDrift cuts through the noise to deliver only breaking changes, deprecations, and security patches relevant to your infrastructure.

AWS ships hundreds of updates per month — and buries deprecations in the noise

AWS announces dozens of service updates every week across 200+ services. Critical changes like SDK version sunsets, API parameter removals, and runtime deprecations get lost in a sea of new region launches and feature previews. By the time you notice a breaking change, you're already firefighting.

We missed the Node.js 16 Lambda runtime deprecation notice. Our deployment pipeline broke during a critical release because Lambda started rejecting new deployments on the deprecated runtime. It was in an AWS blog post from three months ago.

Deprecation

Lambda: Node.js 18.x runtime entering deprecation phase — end of support 2026-09-01

AWS Lambda will block creating new functions with the nodejs18.x runtime starting 2026-07-01, and stop invoking existing functions on 2026-09-01. Migrate to nodejs20.x or nodejs22.x.

Breaking

S3: Default bucket ownership enforced — ACLs disabled for all new buckets

All new S3 buckets now have Bucket Owner Enforced as the default object ownership setting. ACLs are disabled. Existing buckets using ACLs are not affected but should migrate to bucket policies.
