Apps built with AWS

AWS offers the widest service catalogue of any provider and, with a region in Cape Town, a genuinely local option for teams who need latency or data residency within Africa. That residency question is becoming less theoretical each year as data protection regulations take effect market by market. The trade-off African teams weigh most is cost predictability: usage-based billing in dollars against revenue in local currency can produce unpleasant surprises, and egress charges in particular catch teams serving media. The credit programmes available to startups make the early years cheap, which is both genuinely helpful and worth planning past. Products here use it for everything from a single instance to managed databases, object storage and serverless functions. Browse what is built on AWS below.
