Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services — now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon’s expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.

Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. With data centre locations in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Japan, customers across all industries are taking advantage of our low cost, elastic, open and flexible, secure platform.

Our AWS Certified Developers understand the core AWS services and apply best practices regarding security and scalability to your project.

Our AWS Certified Developers can set up, maintain, and evolve the cloud infrastructure of web applications.

When looking at the tech industry at large, it’s easy to see why cloud computing has become so popular.

First and foremost, one of the biggest advantages of cloud computing is cost savings. With a traditional enterprise model, a company must invest in the hardware and software needed to run their organization. If the company anticipates rapidly growing and scaling, that could require spending millions of dollars on software and equipment that may or may not be fully used. With cloud computing, a company can pay only for what they need, when they need it.

A second, closely related, the advantage is scalability. Rather than needing to ramp up, deploy, test and troubleshoot new hardware and software, cloud computing gives companies the ability to scale almost immediately.

Mobility is another significant advantage of cloud computing. Whereas legacy software often supports one or two operating systems, cloud computing relies on web-based applications. As a result, virtually every major platform is supported. In an era when bringing your own device (BYOD), phone and tablet-based work has become more common, cloud computing provides a way to support employees and help them be most productive.

Security is a feature that is often overlooked, largely because of misconceptions about cloud computing. Many individuals erroneously believe cloud-based computing is less secure than legacy, on-premise systems. Study after study has shown, however, that cloud computing often provides a higher degree of security.

Automatic updates and disaster recovery are two more closely related benefits. Because cloud-based applications automatically update, there is no need to worry about expensive and time-consuming upgrade cycles. In addition, because everything is backed up to the cloud, cloud computing makes it far easier to recover from a disaster, compared to companies that are still housing everything locally.

AWS developers enjoy a wide and varied workload. In fact, in many ways, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what an AWS developer does thanks to the wide variety of companies who rely on AWS.

One of the biggest factors for an AWS developer is clearly understanding exactly what the organization is trying to achieve, why it is using the cloud and how it plans to continue using it to meet its goals.

While it is possible to use AWS without knowing how to program, our developers have extensive experience in Java, .Net, Python, Ruby, Node.js and PHP, to name a few, which are some of the most common used in AWS.

Our AWS Certified Developers fully understand and grasp what AWS offers and the services included in its ecosystem. Like any complex environment, AWS has different tools for different tasks, and our AWS developers can advise you which one is the best option in any given circumstance.
