At DevRepublic we often use AWS. But what is it? And why is it useful for you too? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud platform of American e-commerce giant Amazon. Worldwide, AWS is the absolute market leader among the public cloud providers, they are the largest.

With AWS, organizations have access to a reliable, secure, fast and flexible IT environment. There are countless organizations that use AWS, such as Airbnb, Linkedin, Netflix, and Philips customer. And it is precisely because of these big names that the techniques and services of AWS can be used by everyone. Thousands of products and services are available via the AWS marketplace, such as those for hosting web platforms, databases, webshops, chatbots, artificial intelligence and deep learning.

AWS works on a pay-per-use basis. You only pay monthly for the computing power and storage that you actually use. This means that no large upfront investment is required, because purchasing costs for the servers are a thing of the past. And do you need more? AWS is scalable and grows easily!
