Issue # 131: July 18, 2025 to July 25, 2025

Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 131 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from July 18, 2025 to July 25, 2025.

Before doing the usual stuff we do on this newsletter every single week, I wanted to take a moment to show my support to the hundreds of people who lost their roles at AWS in the last 3 months.

Layoffs suck, so if you need a helping hand, just send me a message and I will try to point you in the right direction if you are looking for a new role. This is one of the main reasons why the sponsor of this issue is Mercor, an incredible AI-based platform where you could find ton of roles based in your level of expertise, especially in tech.

I encourage you to take a look to it if you are looking for a new role today.

Enjoy.
