Ask HN: Use cases for AWS
1 point by federicoponzi on March 16, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Which aws service are you using in your projects? And why have you choose to go with aws? I'm new to aws and want to understand some good use case on when use aws Vs other alternatives.



I try to stay cloud agnostic -- so for production I use VMs with decent instance storage to run the various services needed to support our product. Sprinkle in S3, Route53, VPC, etc to stitch it all together.

For dev/staging, I use cheaper Linode boxes where we run all the processes on a single VM and leverage the same Route53, S3, etc services which don't really require me to run a VM on EC2.
