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.
