AWS a subsidiary of Amazon has grown by leaps and bounds since its first service release in 2004. It has taken the entire world with the storm in past few years. It’s a comprehensive, ever-evolving and a robust cloud platform by AMAZON. It offers you all three basic IT services covering IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.

So, WHY YOU, as a developer, as a software engineer or as a software architect should use AWS?

Big question, whether AWS is right for you or for your business?

Is there any necessity to use cloud services, can't you use your age-old, on-premises IT infrastructure? Of course you can, there is no one stopping you from doing that, but remember, It doesn't matter what type of organization you are working for or running a business, no matter what kind of data you are dealing with, the success of your business depends on your capability to build applications that can run securely, reliably and efficiently both in terms of budget and resources.

It's also important that your applications are designed in such a way that they can scale in and out as and when required.

What AWS offers different from any other Cloud vendor?

What Amazon Web Services supplies you are the biggest choice of computing resources & services accessed via the internet, to run those applications aligning with the USP of your business model.

Performance of underlying hardware is top notch.

In addition, you can bet on the SLA that AWS provides, you have access to highly durable storage, low latency databases and an entire suite of applications to meet your developmental needs, for which you only pay what you consume.
