AWS Reimagines the Getting Started Experience
AWS, Wednesday, September 16th, 2026
AWS overhauls onboarding with a redesigned getting-started experience for new builders on the platform.
AWS announced a redesigned getting-started experience aimed at reducing the time it takes new customers to deploy something working.
The post describes guided paths, updated tutorials, and console changes intended to cut through the breadth of the AWS service catalog for first-time users.
It covers how the new experience surfaces relevant services based on what the builder is trying to accomplish rather than requiring prior knowledge of service names. AWS frames the change as addressing a long-standing complaint about platform complexity.
