AllCode is part of the Amazon Partner Network, with numerous AWS certified engineers. Amazon Web Services is a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.
Amazon Web Services is understandably a difficult platform to adapt to and utilize fully upon first getting started. Some organizations can be selected to become certified partners to indirectly extend services to help build on the Amazon Cloud. Finding a certified company to help build out is undoubtedly the best way to significantly simplify, streamline, and reduce the cost of utilizing AWS.
When a development team is building out an application, it helps to have access to the same resources, have the tools for planning and testing, and to have access to the application all in one place. CodeCatalyst comes with a slew of continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) tools and can leverage other AWS services and be connected to other AWS projects on an account. As a collaborative tool, it is easy to introduce new members into the project and to log all activity or all tests from a single dashboard. It’s a complete package of all the tools needed to securely work on every step of an application’s lifecycle.
Perhaps the biggest issue with AWS that its competitors edge out on is the confusing pricing model. It does promise the capacity to help users save significantly on funds that otherwise by avoiding spending on unnecessary resources, but getting to that point isn’t always clear. We will be covering in greater detail how this works.

Business Intelligence is important to a firm in order to understand the data gathered from its various operations. Amazon does provide a service called QuickSight which is more tailored to use-by-use cases. By comparison, Microsoft has Power BI on offer with a much more universally applied pricing model but extensive customizability and modularity. Both do have a lot to offer on top of their compatibility to their respective organizations.
Among other services, Amazon also provides Aurora – a database service with a global presence that is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL at a mere tenth of the cost of traditional databases. True to AWS fashion, Amazon fully manages these databases helping to further reduce costs for the users and alleviate the need to dedicate resources towards maintenance. To prevent loss and damage, Aurora databases have nearly a 100% uptime with easy replication and a restoration of services in less than a minute. For newer users to AWS, immigrating data locally is incredibly easy.
While Amazon does make acquiring certification for knowledge on their cloud services readily accessible, the process is still a large hurdle to overcome. The exams are incredibly tough and do have a B and above requirement in order to pass. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources both official and unofficial to help potential new experts to prepare. Everyone is better off knowing what resources they have to prepare for such a tremendous hurdle.
Data Analytics is increasingly important for evaluating company performance and adjusting for continuous improvement and avoiding recreating mistakes. As such, there are plenty of platforms on the market for making the analysis process to make this easier. Though Amazon’s offering might seem to be the go-to for any and all solutions, there are still other options present on the market for anyone who has data analysis needs.
There are significant benefits an organization can experience from moving many of their operations to the cloud from cut costs to avoiding the loss of data. Despite the increasing number of organizations looking to adopt cloud computing into their business operations and what can be accomplished, only a handful of companies have adopted the technology even after over a decade’s existence. With time, this is something that we aim to gradually rectify.
