The basics of AWS and how OutSystems ODC makes use of it.

The new OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) platform runs on AWS, one of the world's largest cloud infrastructures. But what does that actually mean? In this article we explain the basic principles of AWS and show how OutSystems ODC uses these services to run scalable, secure and powerful apps.
AWS offers a complete package of cloud services, from compute power and storage to network management, databases and security. OutSystems ODC makes smart use of, among others, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, S3 for file storage, and Amazon Aurora for managed databases. The result? Fast, flexible apps without server hassle.
By building on AWS, OutSystems ODC takes all infrastructure concerns off your hands. Developers can focus entirely on building digital experiences, while AWS takes care of scalability, performance and security, all behind the scenes. Want to know more about how that works?
