Real life software engineer. I'd rather have content like this compared to the influencer bs other useless tech tubers spam with. This is actually educative and noise/bs-free.
Precise explanation! This is the 101 class that cloud providers should make by themselves. The official names and docs of these services are just confusing to newcomers and non-tech people.
Oh I just realized I forgot to mention that I use to work at google.. Btw I made an intermediate full stack course where I used several Cloud services if you're interested (Database, Message Queue, Object store and Serverless functions) neetcode.io/courses/full-stack-dev/0 Disclaimer: It's not beginner friendly. You should have at least a little experience with HTTP, databases, etc.
Waiting for one of your evening time videos for long( this generally rolls out in evening in India) We know you are a Googler neet .😂😂 . Awesome video !
Message queues are a worthwhile callout. Maybe not necessary for every app, but its one of the first things you'll find yourself wanting as you grow, or just something you'll need depending on what you're building

Great explainer video! I was thinking recently whats the difference between vercel, netlify, aws, azure, google servers and all. It was to the point and precise. Abtractions over abtraction just to make things simple for developers.
great great great video, worked as a data engineer for 2 years and afterwards went back to uni for a masters in AI. now half a year later trying to refresh my cloud knowledge and your channel is a great way to keep the knowledge and intuition alive
Well done explaining the features so well and easy to understand, simple screen writing can be as effective as animations that many are doing! I'm following u!
I love it. I can't love it more. I subscribed from your leetcode solution videos and I really love how you teach and explain things. Easy to understand, good examples and logical. Thanks a lot
can we agree that dynamodb architecture is impressive, for most of my usecases dynamodb fits super well, and cost is rediculous low compared to value I get on having single digit latency, rebalance partition, replication, a buuuunch of stuff I don't want to do every project.. Altough serverless sometimes does not apply, like their time series db was a bit disappointment, but we moved to a database that had time series functions like click house. Well, just choosing the right tool for your project is part of the job, but serverless mostly come as way to start it. Thank you so much for sharing it mate.. cheers.
My dad is 66 serving in IT for over 30 years trying to understand what AWS is and does... i sent him this video. I think it is a really simple and good way of explaining why you would use AWS and what it potentially can do. thx
If you want an easy time building things as a web dev, the way to go is fullstack Rails-inspired frameworks, like Rails itself, Laravel or my favorite, Phoenix. And you can't run any of those with just S3, RDS and FaaS.
Hey, thanks for the video. See a bunch of these name in job descriptions, haven't touched them (was doing academia stuff). Any suggestions on courses or small materials on your top 5?
OOh, perhaps go in depth with Open Telemetry too! Availability Zones, and perhaps some material for the cloud certification that I find some resources don't explain well?
I’m really liking the dose of sanity this channel is promoting. So much rhetoric around software dev is very “more is more”. This goes against fundamental engineering knowledge that has been known for years.
As a hobbyist, who definitely doesn’t need kubernetes etc, it’s insane to think how much computing power I have at home, yet I’m still paying for a puny 1GB VLC from digital ocean. ISPs are the real a-holes here.
I like the explanation but I feel a newbie may get the impression he needs all this stuff. Thing is that a 6$/month VPS will be more than enough for having a new project going online and getting users, and a beginner will learn a lot by setting it up and there will be no giant surprise bill at the end of the month if he gets something wrong. I've had multiple apps running on a single 6$ VPS for 8 years now. Thousands of users served monthly, it went offline only one time for a few hours because of a botched update.
Yeah I'd suggest people to use a VM to actually setup things themselves at least once. Database, backups, reverse proxy with apache/nginx, SSL renewal etc. It will give you a better understanding on how things work and you will actually understand what kind of problems these managed services solve for you.
Cdk is also pretty good, because you can just code and deploy directly. And you can configure other aws services like s3, ddb directly in the lambda stack. I am new into this stuff I don't have experience, so if this thing is actually bad xD, pls tell. Tho, it was pretty slow during local development.
All you need to know about cloud services is: avoid them at any cost. If you need to store your private sensitive data you can do that on my machine, which is the same as that cloud-thing: a computer over which you have zero control. Storage space ? A single 24 Terrabyte hd costs about 500 bucks and they get only cheaper, how much to pay for cloud services over the years ?
This just makes me even more interested in the dozens of other cloud services aws provides. Is it fair to just say all the other services are just a combination of services you already mentioned but tailored for specific needs? I guess amazons goal was to make it cost less if you used the tailored service that using all 2 or 3?
Some of the services under the hood will use these services on top, while others are completely separate entites on their own. With elastic beanstalk for exmaple, under the hood it will create a EC2 under the hood as a managed service, but other services he didn't mention here like IAM are it's own service.
VM is Virtual Machine, so is basically a virtualized system (operating system, files, software, etc) inside a real machine that runs it. The idea is that you can run different systems with is own software to enhance stability and security, all within a system isolated of other VMs and the host system.
