Session Info

Amazon Location Service is a service for building location-based applications that was released in 2021.

Over the past three years, the service has undergone a wide range of feature additions and evolutions, including the Amazon Location SDK and Amplify Geo, the addition of multiple providers, and API key support.

I have connected with many different people through this service and had the experience of becoming an AWS DevTools Hero.

In this session, I will present the current state and future of the Amazon Location Service combined with my experiences.
