Why I Use AWS Cloud Infrastructure for My Products
As a platform for running a complex and demanding software product, AWS offers flexibility by utilizing resources when needed, at the scale needed. It’s on demand and instant, allowing full control over the running environment. When proposing such a cloud architecture solution to a client, the provisioned infrastructure—and its price—depend heavily on requirements that need to be set up front.
