What it does

This is not ur typical reference book. It doesn't cover all of AWS or all its quirks. Instead, helps you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use. Features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the internet.

This is not your typical reference book. It doesn't cover all of AWS or all its quirks. Instead, we want to help you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use. Features for which you almost never need to consider alternatives. Features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the internet.Making technical choices can be overwhelming. As developers,

The applications were fast, and they ended up being much cheaper to run than what my team & I had built before. It’s probably not the best platform for _every_ application, but I was surprised at how much of our workload worked well on it.
