Why We Use AWS
AWS’s breadth of managed services reduces operational overhead significantly for most production applications. ECS Fargate eliminates server management. RDS Aurora handles automatic failover. For most SaaS products, the managed service combination lets a 3-engineer team operate infrastructure that would require 10 on bare metal.
