AWS Cloud Event Delivers Less than Desired

A few weeks ago, three of our developers made the short trek down to the Jacob Javits Center in New York to attend the Amazon Web Services Cloud for Start-ups & Developers Event. The event was held the night before AWS’s 2012 Summit kickoff.

Overall, the presentations were a little light on details and our team wished for a more in-depth look at the specific technical aspects of AWS Cloud. They wanted to see coding examples and gain a thorough explanation of how all the services work together. Our team did appreciate the candid presentations from AWS Customers: Adam Nelson from Yipit and Michael Young from News.me. They felt that the presentations revealed honestly how start-ups use AWS Cloud indicating both the benefits as well as some of the drawbacks and caveats.

AWS Cloud works to meet scaling, storage, and traffic needs of many startups. This dramatically reduces the costs and risks of investing in elaborate information architecture for prototyping and production – which is ideal for companies who are just starting out. “This information,” one of our developers said, “is something most developers are aware of. We would have liked to see more concrete examples. But, hey, it’s good to get out of the office sometimes!”
