TL;DR: AWS InfiniDash is a fake project.

It started innocently enough, with tweet:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">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</p>&mdash; Joe Nash (@jna_sh) <a href="https://twitter.com/jna_sh/status/1410178986978775040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And it exploded from there.

Ellen Korbes made an explanatory spoof video:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">hope this helps someone re: infinidash <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/i8h?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#i8h</a> <a href="https://t.co/fmzLt6WH5b">pic.twitter.com/fmzLt6WH5b</a></p>&mdash; @ellenkorbes (@ellenkorbes) <a href="https://twitter.com/ellenkorbes/status/1410796865126346755?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

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

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">AWS Infinidash explained with a bubble machine I found in a cupboard and my cat <a href="https://t.co/h9TToTsDxk">pic.twitter.com/h9TToTsDxk</a></p>&mdash; Sy Brand (@TartanLlama) <a href="https://twitter.com/TartanLlama/status/1410959645238308866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The most AMAZING song was composed and performed:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">An ode to Infinidash - the imaginary AWS service! <a href="https://t.co/3dCntHtUyG">pic.twitter.com/3dCntHtUyG</a></p>&mdash; Forrest Brazeal (@forrestbrazeal) <a href="https://twitter.com/forrestbrazeal/status/1410647222853771266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

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

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">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: <a href="https://t.co/op9ycS9mKM">https://t.co/op9ycS9mKM</a></p>&mdash; Signal (@signalapp) <a href="https://twitter.com/signalapp/status/1411082628514697217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

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

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Y&#39;all aren&#39;t ready for this AWS <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Infinidash?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Infinidash</a> live stream<br><br>Make sure you like and subscribe!🔔<a href="https://t.co/Oj3YGmABEK">https://t.co/Oj3YGmABEK</a></p>&mdash; Justin Garrison (@rothgar) <a href="https://twitter.com/rothgar/status/1411007248965402626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

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