Amazon Web Services is a cloud service provider that allows us to access storage, computing resources, mobile applications, databases, etc., through cloud computing , that is, a mode of computer resources via the Internet that is in line with demand and generally uses a payment model based on use.
So AWS allows storage without the user having to make major investments in infrastructure. By paying for the service monthly, the contractor would have access to a database to process the information it wants.
