AWS re:Invent 2025 is just around the corner, and if you’re a developer looking to level up your skills, the Developer Tool (DVT) track has an incredible lineup waiting for you. From CI/CD pipelines and full-stack development to Infrastructure as Code and AI-powered coding agents, this year’s sessions will help you build faster, smarter, and more efficiently. Here’s your essential guide to navigating the week.
AWS re:Invent is a learning focused conference and the best place for developer to learn is in one of the roughly 75 sessions on the Developer Tools track. With breakout sessions, lightening talks, chalk talks, code talks, workshops, builder sessions, and meetups, you are sure to find a something that appeals the developer in you. Check you the event catalog, or start with these stand out sessions.
Start your journey at the House of Kiro in the Venetian. Walk through Kiro’s haunted house filled with developer nightmares and horrors, and explore how Kiro brings structure to coding chaos through spec-driven development, vibe coding, and agent hooks. If you survive the haunted house, you will be rewarded with Kiro swag.
Visit the AWS Village in the Expo at the Venetian Level 2 Hall B to speak with me and other experts at either the Kiro kiosk or the Developer Tools kiosk, covering CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CloudFormation, CDK, and all the essential developer tools.
Located at the south end of the strip in Mandalay Bay, the Builders Loft offers a collaborative workspace with dedicated co-working spaces and meetup zones. Enjoy coffee, snacks, SWAG, and daily tech challenges for a chance to win AWS credits. Kiro experts will be at the builders loft Monday-Thursday:
Stop by the Kiro kiosk in the Venetian Expo to participate in Kiro’s Labyrinth, a coding challenge where you’ll help Kiro escape from a spooky Halloween maze and win prizes. The Kiro code champions will be crowned in DVT221 at Mandalay Bay on Thursday at 11:30 AM.
Build something wicked for Kiroween, the annual hackathon that started on Halloween and ends on Friday, December 5th—the last day of re:Invent. Need help? Visit us at in the Builder Loft in Mandalay Bay: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM or the Developer Pavilion in Venetian whenever the Expo is open.
Make the most of your re:Invent experience by attending these sessions, connecting with experts at the AWS Village and Builders Loft, and participating in hands-on challenges. Whether you’re interested in CI/CD, infrastructure as code, AI-powered development, or just want to network with fellow builders, the Developer Tools track has something for everyone. See you in Vegas!
