The discovery phase is a critical stage in software development projects that involves gathering information and defining the scope of the project. The purpose of the discovery phase is to establish a clear understanding of what the project will entail, what the client's requirements are, and what resources will be required to complete the project successfully. The detailed analysis by a team of considerate experts will transform your idea into a clear product vision or give a new life to your actual project. That is what is called a product discovery phase in software development.

During the discovery phase, Geniusee developers perform tasks such as researching potential technologies, prototyping solutions, and gathering requirements from stakeholders. AWS provides a range of tools and services that are used to support these activities, including:

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): EC2 is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Developers can use EC2 to quickly provision virtual servers to run their software and test prototypes.

• Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3): S3 is a highly scalable cloud storage service that developers can use to store and retrieve data. During the discovery phase, S3 can be used to store research materials, documentation, and other project-related files.

• Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS): RDS is a managed database service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Developers can use RDS to store and retrieve data during the discovery phase.

• Amazon API Gateway: API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. During the discovery phase, developers can use API Gateway to prototype and test API designs.

• Amazon CloudWatch: CloudWatch is a monitoring service for AWS resources and the applications that run on AWS. Developers can use CloudWatch to monitor system performance and gather metrics during the discovery phase.

Depending on the specific needs of the project, other AWS services such as AWS Lambda, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS CodeCommit may also be useful.

You get valuable insights on preferable design, features, services that will be magnetic for your users:
