AWS in Indonesia

West Java is the biggest province in Indonesia. It serves a population of 50 million people mostly living in underdeveloped, rural areas, and its administration is committed to improving public services through technology. By developing a cloud-native application on AWS, the West Java administration has reduced the development time from three months to just 16 days and is also making cost savings with our pay-as-you-go pricing. It is also using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to accelerate container implementation, Amazon CloudFront to send content, and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) to prevent problems in running applications.

In 2019, Sayurbox migrated to AWS to reduce costs and take the advantage of managed offers such as Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon OpenSearch Service (successor to Amazon Elasticsearch Service). Amazon OpenSearch Service helps with monitoring and analytical activities in Sayurbox’s operating and storage management systems, assessing demand, and cross-checking with supply sources. This makes it even easier for users to order successfully from the Sayurbox app, website, or even through WhatsApp. The startup also uses Amazon RDS to automate inventory management.

Qlue is an Indonesian smart city ecosystem company that uses AI and IoT to help create sustainable, safer cities.

These include QlueWork, a mobile application for managing and coordinating tasks in the field, and QlueDashboard, which assists with real-time monitoring, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of resource management and allocation. Qlue has reduced its time to market by 50 percent with streamlined deployment process and has the ability to scale seamlessly while processing large volumes of real-time data.

To improve its flexibility and agility, adhesives and coatings manufacturer Mikatasa explored numerous cloud solutions before choosing AWS. “We realized that a cloud solution would be key to our continued operations, and we couldn’t afford any risks. With our previous local cloud provider, we experienced multiple episodes of downtime as well as a data leak. We needed a secure and established cloud provider for this reason, and AWS met all our requirements.”
