Top 5 AWS Services To Launch Any Project

In 2021 Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers over 200 various services. Some of them you could be already familiar with; others look relatively fresh. There is no doubt that each of them serves its purpose. Some services might even impress you and lead to the impression “I can’t imagine there is service for that.” Personally, I was amazed when I discovered Amazon Lumberyard.

At the same time, there are solid “rock star” services that have been around for quite some time. They have been proven by time and software engineers. With their help, it is possible to build and ship the majority of the solutions in the digital world. These services act as a bootstrap for web projects. Let’s discover them and their capabilities.

Every cloud provider has a place to save files. In AWS it is the Simple Storage Service, known as S3. This type of storage is dedicated to keeping different kinds of objects: files, pictures, videos, documents. It does not have limitations for that. It is a durable and scalable place for any type of file.

S3 comes with security and performance features. Files can be encrypted and can support versioning. S3 has multiple types of storage based on the access frequency. For example, there are types dedicated to archived data (S3 Glacier). It will reduce costs but increase retrieval time. And there are types designed for efficient frequent access.
