AWS video search

Some of the best resources for Amazon Web Services (AWS) can be found on their YouTube channels (AWS and AWS Events).

You can find on their channel info on all their compute, storage, databases, analytics, networking, mobile, developer tools, management tools, IoT, security, and enterprise products, featured in

conference talks,
walk throughs,
expert discussions,
troubleshooting tips,
customer presentations

and more.

YouTube's search function leaves a lot to be desired these days. So I built an AWS video search engine myself and make it available here.

... or "Postgres, Performance", "CloudTrail, Security" ...

About this page...

A few years ago I built a YouTube video search engine, partly because YouTube's built-in search engine can be so bad.

I indexed various video info in a Postgres database, including OCR'd screenshots and transcript info, from channels that I searched/watched often (e.g. cloud providers' channels, to learn about specific features and configurations).

It's still sort of cool, but I haven't been updating the database lately, and have abandoned further development, as:

nowadays it would be better to do this via AI, rather than indexing / searching text in a relational database
it's only a matter of time until we get more in-depth search functionality for YouTube videos (you can already search YouTube video content via ChatGPT etc. today, though it's still severely limited)
and (most importantly) AI has eliminated much of the need to research issues in the first place, or spend hours learning skills through tutorial videos (though it can still be nice to watch e.g. a live presentation from a tech conference, to get a good overview of features and innovations)

This search does not only inspect titles, but also the video content. Due to it being fairly resource intensive I might restrict availability at times.
