Learn AWS
Amazon Web Services is a cloud platform offering compute, storage, databases, networking and AI services on demand.
Why teams use it
- The breadth of services means most infrastructure needs have a managed option.
- Very widely adopted, so operational knowledge transfers between teams.
- Managed AI services make it possible to build on large models without hosting them.
Where you will meet it
A containerised API, object storage for uploads, and a managed database is a standard AWS shape for a product back end.
What to learn, and in what order
Work through these roughly in order. Jumping to the advanced list before the basics are solid is the most common way people get stuck.
