About Us

Answers for AWS is a third-party consulting company focused on helping startups in Silicon Valley be successful on AWS.

Amazon Web Services has evolved to be so much more than EC2 and S3, and is now made up of over 30 distinct services. Each service has many features, is well documented, and has multiple ways of using it. There are also a multitude of tools, interfaces and third party services available - all working together to create an amazingly flexible environment.

A new paradigm of infrastructure and architecture is emerging, which in turn is creating an entirely new set of challenges for engineering teams. Answers for AWS aims to provide guidance with all things AWS, from appropriate architecture of your application and data, to practical use and incorporation of these services. The end goal is to make your service successful by being reliable, cost-effective and highly available.
