Hey.
As I always share with you, this is one of the favorite moments of the week: when I have the privilege to be in your inbox every Friday with the best news/articles/videos about the AWS Silicon universe.
This time from June 5th, 2026 to June 12th, 2026.
This week we had a very interesting because we saw how AWS came with two new instances: M9g and M9g, both based on AWS Graviton5 processors.
From our perspective, the biggest news are not the new instances itself, but the customers that are actively using them and seeing a lot of benefits:
AWS first announced the M9g instances as a preview during re:Invent 2025. Since then, companies have extensively tested the instances on production workloads. ClickHouse reported a 36 percent performance improvement over M8g without any code changes. HubSpot saw query times for MySQL databases drop by up to 60 percent after deploying M9g. Honeycomb achieved 36 percent higher throughput per core than Graviton4, as measured over a six-month A/B test on production observability workloads.
I will continue monitoring how other companies use this new type of instances, so keep an eye on the newsletter.
Enjoy.
