Modern applications are changing
how you build customer value
Digital transformation has dramatically impacted the way
companies deliver value and the rate at which they make
changes to their products and services. Every company
is becoming a technology company—companies are
increasingly building products that are the technology itself
or heavily influenced by technology. In order to compete
in this new world, businesses must create better digital
products, and they must do it at an increasingly rapid pace.
Many companies are innovating faster by changing the way they design,
build, and manage applications, through what we call modern applications.
Modern applications increase the agility of your teams and the reliability,
security, and scalability of your applications. Modern applications are built
faster than ever, with the ability to scale quickly to potentially millions of
users, have global availability, manage petabytes if not exabytes of data,
and respond in milliseconds.

"Invention requires two things: the
ability to try a lot of experiments, and
not having to live with the collateral
damage of failed experiments."
– Andy Jassy, CEO, Amazon Web Services
