If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

AWS is the most mature and broadest of the current cloud offerings providing scalable services for computation (EC2), storage (S3 & SBS), databases (SimpleDB & RDS), messaging (SQS & SNS), etc. The list of services provided by AWS continues to expand rapidly with new services being added on an almost monthly basis, (http://bit.ly/90887v). While existing applications can be deployed on AWS through the use of Amazon Machine Images the full benefits of this platform will come from applications that are developed to take advantage of AWS. The usage based billing model adopted by AWS allows organizations to scale applications without large upfront investment and avoid the overhead cost of under utilized hardware.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
