TL;DR
Google's new Kubernetes pricing model eliminates per-core costs, but adds a $0.05/GB-month charge for persistent storage.
Google has officially launched Bond, an AI-powered idea generator that uses user-posted memories to make personalized event-based recommendations. Users can post 'memories' via pictures, video, and audio files, which the AI system uses to suggest nearby restaurants or events based on users' interests. The more users post about their experiences, the better the recommendations become.
Key Points
Bond's founding researcher co-led integration of user signals at Google Gemini, which will inform the development of future AI models.
The company includes people who previously built major social media apps like TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook.
Users can post 'memories' via pictures, video, and audio files, which the AI system uses to make personalized event-based recommendations.
Bond currently stores user data securely in its database and ensures it is protected from unauthorized access.
Monetization is not a short-term priority for the company, with an initial focus on creating a valuable application.
Why It Matters
If you're running Postgres on RDS, Aurora's new IO-Optimized mode flips the economics — reads get 25% faster without paying per-IOPS. But the $0.20/GB-month premium only pencils out above ~100K read IOPS per instance, so smaller databases should stay put. Anyone on Aurora Serverless v2 gets this automatically starting November 1.
