What are benefits of using AWS cloud development?
-
Cost reduction
You can use available resources quickly which results in a huge increase in the efficiency of the organization, as the costs and time needed for development are much lower. Also, you only pay for whatever you need at this particular time and not a penny more
-
Flexibility and scalability
The pay-as-you-go model is also a reason why cloud solutions are perfect for rapidly growing businesses. Cooperation models with Amazon Web Services allow very high flexibility and fast reaction to unexpected changes. If, for example, there’s a sudden need for more storage and bandwidth, it’s always there for grabs. It doesn’t require buying and installing any new equipment.
-
Fast deployment
Cloud computing gives instant access to services and products that otherwise would require a lot of work to buy, assemble, or create from scratch. It’s a convenient way to scale quickly or jump-start projects in which time plays a crucial role.
-
Security
Slowly but surely, companies realize that having data and hardware under their direct control doesn’t make them safer. If anything, it makes them more vulnerable. The in-house model requires constant oversight and maintenance, let alone the cost of hardware and energy. It all drastically increases operational costs. Cloud services do it all for us.
-
Reliability
Amazon Web Services are known for being super reliable with over 99,9% availability rating. They simply don't go down. We can also be sure that they’re all completely up to date and, therefore, secure at all times. And that applies to both the software and hardware side. You can be sure that your AWS services run on perfectly reliable and super-fast CPUs and GPUs.
-
Better performance
With reliable hardware and state-of-the-art network infrastructure of AWS comes performance. Cloud services give companies the ability to create experiences and deliver services that would be pretty impossible any other way. With the emergence of live processed AI solutions and AR/VR applications, more and more businesses require incredibly fast processing of large amounts of data, which is possible only in the cloud.

FAQ for Founders

Will my project require AWS?
Of course, we can’t say for sure until we know exactly what your project is, but the answer very often is YES. From machine learning and AI tools to payment processing and office apps, Amazon Web Services cover such a broad range of applications, utilities, and infrastructure products, that almost every project could take something from their portfolio. However, before we suggest it for your project, we’ll make sure it’s the right choice from a technological and financial standpoint.

What if my business requires having complete control over systems and data?
This scenario is entirely possible. In some cases, sharing data with third parties can be far strategically risky, and using cloud storage is out of the question.
