Initially offered in 2002 as an internal infrastructure to power Amazon’s online store, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has since evolved into a comprehensive cloud-computing platform that provides an array of services, including infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and software-as-a-service.
Because of these extensive offerings, many companies are interested in hiring AWS developers to design, implement, and maintain the cloud-based infrastructure to run web-based applications. AWS developers provide significant business value in today’s digital landscape. However, recruiting and hiring AWS developers can be challenging due to the competitive labor market and their higher salaries.
AWS development involves creating, deploying, and managing applications and services that use the AWS cloud infrastructure. Amazon provides a wide range of services and tools in the AWS ecosystem for developers to use with cloud-based applications, including storage, databases and management, networking, security and governance, artificial intelligence, and more.
You might need an AWS developer to build applications using AWS cloud-based infrastructure or services. Some of the most common examples of AWS services include cloud infrastructure, AWS services, such as AWS Lambda and Amazon RDS, security features, compliance certifications, automation, and optimization.
Cloud services are critical in today’s modern technological landscape, so many companies choose to design cloud-native software. These web applications are designed to utilize the cloud infrastructure from the ground up. AWS services provide one of the best cloud computing platforms for app development for these companies.
AWS has a pay-as-you-go model, enabling you to reduce app development costs by only paying for the features your organization actively uses. And because of the nature of the AWS cloud, developing apps on this platform is easily scalable. Many businesses find scaling their applications up or down to handle different workloads a significant benefit of using AWS development.
AWS also provides serverless computing services like AWS Lambda, which allows developers to participate in app development without managing traditional servers. AWS operates data centers worldwide, meaning that developers can enjoy the benefits of a global reach even without a dedicated server.
Businesses can leverage AWS development on a budget to produce cloud-based applications, including mobile apps. Companies just getting into application development may benefit from the scalable nature of AWS development, which allows them to limit the up-front investment in app development while still creating valuable products.
AWS web development is a reliable, cost-effective, and secure way to develop mobile apps to benefit companies and their clients. Some of the benefits of AWS development include:
The range of services AWS provides is so extensive that there’s no specific list of duties an AWS developer will perform. However, an AWS developer can be responsible for any of the following tasks:
Because AWS development is such a vast arena, AWS developers must have a well-developed technical skillset. Depending on how companies use AWS development, some key competencies may be more or less important to a specific role.
One of the key skills AWS developers must have is the ability to deploy web applications to an EC2 instance. AWS developers may also need CloudFormation and/or Elastic Beanstalk for application deployment and should be proficient with both applications.
AWS developers must also understand the AWS software development kit (SDK). Developers should know how to pull down an object with Amazon S3, for example, and connect to a DynamoDB table. The more AWS developers understand the AWS SDK, the more likely they are to create functional, engaging applications.
AWS developers should be comfortable with various databases, including Aurora, DynamoDB, and DocumentDB. They should be able to use them in a serverless environment using services like Lambda and API Gateway.
AWS developers must also have excellent organizational skills and be self-starters. Much of working with AWS involves poking around at the different capabilities and pushing the envelope for what AWS can do. This means ideal candidates are naturally curious and driven to solve problems uniquely. They should also possess soft skills, like interpersonal communication and teamwork, to communicate with other DevOps team members.
One of the benefits of working with AWS is that developers can translate skills in almost any programming language to become better software engineers. Although AWS uses specific libraries, they are compatible with a variety of programming skills as well.
The suitable languages and libraries for your team will depend on the types of apps you’re developing, the software you’re using, and the comfort levels of your team members. However, it’s essential to understand your choices before making a decision that will impact your team.
AWS developers can create applications using a variety of languages, including:
AWS provides software developers' libraries (SDKs), including sample codes, tutorials, and other resources to offer basic functions not otherwise included in the API gateway. By leveraging AWS SDKs, developers can streamline their development processes and enhance the functionality of their applications, ultimately delivering more value to their clients and end-users.
The right library for a developer depends on their programming language.
AWS comes equipped with many tools designed to make product development easier, including iOS application development. These include automation tools, AI tools, and machine learning tools. Some of the most popular AWS development programming tools include:
Because AWS is a complete infrastructure-as-a-service platform, developers can use it for both front-end and back-end development. Companies can leverage AWS’s suite of tools to build complete web and mobile applications as well as infrastructure management.
Developers can use AWS services like Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront to support front-end application development. Amazon S3, for example, is great for static website hosting, while Amazon CloudFront can be used for content delivery. Combined, these services can ensure web applications are responsive and performing well.
AWS offers a wide range of services for back-end development, including AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Dynamo DB, API Gateway, Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS Step Functions. Developers can use these tools to create robust, scalable, and reliable server-side components for web applications. Because AWS handles the underlying infrastructure and scalability challenges, developers can better focus on application logic, data management, and business processes. Combined with the suite of tools at their disposal, this makes back-end development through AWS an efficient and effective process.
AWS developers are highly skilled in various areas and are well-compensated for their work. The average salary for a mid-level developer in the U.S. with four to six years of experience is between $85,000 and $127,000, significantly more than the average software developer’s salary. This figure may increase with additional compensation, such as annual bonuses and stock or equity options.
While AWS engineers in Latin American countries are equally skilled, the lower cost of living means they typically earn 30% to 50% less than their U.S. counterparts, with salaries varying based on location and experience. Revelo provides a cost-effective solution while offering highly qualified, pre-vetted Latin American developers.
