What is AWS InfiniDash?

TL;DR: AWS InfiniDash is a fake project.

It started innocently enough, with tweet:

I am convinced that a small and dedicated group of twitter devs could tweet hot takes about a completely made up AWS product, idk AWS Infinidash or something, and it would appear as a requirement on job specs within a week

And it exploded from there.

Ellen Korbes made an explanatory spoof video:

Sy Brand followed up with their own explanation using a bubble machine and their cat:

The most AMAZING song was composed and performed:

Massive application developer, Signal, followed up with their own tweet:

Here at Signal we have always placed an emphasis on developer productivity, so Infinidash lifecycle management has been at the core of everything we do from the jump. We hire for it accordingly: https://t.co/op9ycS9mKM

And, yes, a stream with a live demo arrived:

Now that you understand the joke, too, please don't bash on recruiters, AWS, or anyone who isn't in on the joke.
