Application Infrastructure
HA Web Studio uses AWS for projects that need specific cloud infrastructure, storage, or scale beyond standard managed hosting platforms.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest cloud infrastructure provider in the world, offering a vast range of services, storage, compute, databases, content delivery, and more, that businesses can combine to build almost any kind of infrastructure. Where platforms like Vercel or Render provide a simplified, managed experience, AWS offers raw building blocks with far more configuration control.
At HA Web Studio, we use AWS selectively, for projects with specific infrastructure requirements, large-scale file storage, particular compliance needs, or integrations that call for AWS's specific services, rather than as a default choice.
For most business websites, simpler managed platforms like Vercel or Render deliver everything needed with far less complexity and cost. AWS becomes the right choice specifically when a project has requirements those platforms don't cover, very large-scale file storage, a specific compliance framework, or integration with other AWS services your business already relies on.
Using AWS only when it's genuinely the right fit, rather than by default, keeps your infrastructure appropriately sized and your ongoing costs proportional to what your project actually needs.
We typically use specific AWS services (like S3 for storage) alongside our standard stack, rather than replacing Vercel or Render entirely, using AWS specifically where its particular strengths are the right fit for a project's requirements.
Do we need AWS for our business website? Usually not. Most business websites are better served by simpler managed platforms; AWS makes sense for specific, larger-scale, or compliance-driven requirements.
Is AWS more expensive than platforms like Vercel? It depends heavily on configuration and usage; AWS offers more control but typically requires more expertise to manage cost-effectively.
Can our project use AWS for just one specific need, like file storage? Yes, this is a common and sensible approach, using a specific AWS service for a particular need while keeping the rest of the stack simpler.
The right infrastructure choice depends entirely on your actual requirements. Request a Quote and we'll recommend what genuinely fits.
