AWS—the best place to build modern applications
As organizations look to increase the pace of innovation and build new customer experiences, modernizing how you build and operate applications is key. From enterprise software controlling back-office operations to market-facing applications that become the main connection point with customers, applications are the driving force behind every successful organization.
Built with the latest technologies, modern applications are the solution for development organizations to innovate faster, improve performance, security, and reliability, all while lowering their total cost of ownership.
Technologies like serverless and containers running on the latest processors in the cloud or at the edge, are the keys to fast, secure modern applications that meet even the most challenging business demands. Here are two primary pathways to start modernization:
- Build new applications with AWS Serverless and Serverless Containers for speed and productivity. Simplify operations and reduce application management overhead as you accelerate your release cycles and increase performance
- Run secure, scalable Kubernetes-based applications on the most reliable cloud provider and streamline your application management across environments
Why build modern applications on AWS?

Speed to market
Organizations can gain a competitive advantage by speeding up build cycles. Deliver reliable products and user experiences faster and cheaper while offloading operational overhead to AWS.

Improve scalability
AWS modern applications services enable you to architect applications that scale reliably, increase performance, and maintain security as you grow. With services like AWS Lambda, which processes over one trillion functions per month, AWS can help you operate at any scale you need.

Build better applications by default
AWS Serverless services include best practices by default including cross-availability zone replication and security isolation, so you can take advantage of more AWS best practices effortlessly.

Run applications anywhere
AWS simplifies the process of running Kubernetes and containers in any environment using consistent tooling, making it easier to build applications that meet latency, availability, or residency requirements.

Lower your total cost of ownership
AWS modern application services take on more of the day-to-day operational overhead so you can redirect precious resources to value-added activities. Additionally, AWS serverless services deliver a pay-for-value billing model, never pay for over-provisioning, and benefit from resource utilization that is automatically optimized for you.
