The best part is that we are also significantly expanding the free tier many of you already enjoy by increasing the storage to 25 GB and throughput to 200 million requests per month. More than a decade ago, Amazon embarked on a mission to build a distributed system that challenged conventional methods of data storage and querying.

More control: While performing on-premise testing, organizations have more control over configurations, setup, hardware, and software. The security and data storage infrastructure has to meet certain security compliances and standards; only then, the infrastructure is good to go for testing. All of these require a lot of capital.

Often it is hidden from the consumer’s eye as it empowers applications rather than being the end game but analytics is becoming more prevalent. In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Cloud enables self-service analytics.
