Welcome, Fusioneers!

Greetings! Whether you’re a long-time Fusioneer or a curious guest, we’re excited that you’re visiting the freshly-minted Ion Fusion website. Though this is more of a Soft Launch than a Grand Opening: like that funky new club downtown, we’re comically underprepared for your arrival.

Since Ion Fusion evaled its first lambda in 2012, it attracted a healthy and helpful community inside Amazon, including software developers, data analysts, and programming-language enthusiasts from all over the world¹. It’s fair to say that the community’s love for this niche project supplied the energy to keep going despite a lack of resources². Just as energizing is when, every few months, someone’s goodbye-to-Amazon message ended with “Let me know when Fusion is open-sourced.”

If you’re a current or former Amazonian, welcome! In case you haven’t noticed, we go by “Ion Fusion” now³. Please join us as we share the love with a wider audience. Say hi on Slack or Discord, let’s catch up.

If you’re new to Fusion⁴, welcome! Please take a look around and let us know what you think. Fresh eyes can provide great feedback.

Either way, we hope you’re intrigued enough to join our community while we work toward a more-grand opening.

Share and Enjoy!
